چکیده

This study reports on a cytogenetic finding in a bone marrow examination of a 47-year-old male patient treated in the Hematology and Blood Transfusion Service of the Hospital de Base in São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo State, Brazil. The only alteration found at diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) subtype refractory anemia with excess blasts (RAEB-2) was clonal monosomy of chromosome 21. The patient evolved to acute myeloid leukemia type M2 and died nine months after diagnosis. Clonal monosomy of chromosome 21, as the only cytogenetic abnormality in MDS, has only been reported three times previously. This uncommon cytogenetic abnormality in MDS has been associated with a poor clinical course, although more data will be needed to determine if this prognosis is invariable.

Aplastic anaemia evolving into myelodysplastic syndrome.

Acquired aplastic anaemia is a clonal disorder of multifactonal origin. The ~pathophysiology of this disorder is still not clear Presumably the multiple incriminating factors include an intrinsic derangement of haematopoiesis, immune mediated damage to bone marrow and genetic predisposition. The long term complications of the aplastic anaemia include clonal evolution into disorders like Paroxys...

Turner Syndrome: A Unique Mosaic Case with 45,X/47,XX,+21/46,XX Cell Lines

We report an extremely rare case of Turner syndrome mosaicism in a 30-year-old woman. At least 100 metaphases were observed and analyzed through GTG banding with over 550 band resolutions observed. G-banded chromosome analysis revealed a mosaic female karyotype involving 3 different cell lines. One cell line (90% of the analyzed metaphases) presented monosomy X, while 6% of the cells showed tri...

Conventional cytogenetics and fluorescence in situ hybridization in persistent cytopenias and myelodysplastic syndromes in childhood.

Accurate detection of the abnormal clone in children with persistent cytopenia (PC) may confirm the diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and determine prognosis and evolution of the disease. Bone marrow (BM) samples were obtained from 65 children, 11 of which were finally diagnosed as primary or secondary MDS. Ten to 20 G-banded metaphases were analyzed and FISH was performed using a-sat...

Bone marrow transplantation for children with myelodysplastic syndromes.

Therapeutic options for children with de novo or secondary myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) are limited. We report the outcome of eight pediatric patients (median age 12 years, range 3 to 19 years) with myelodysplasia who underwent allogeneic bone marrow transplantation between 1984 and 1987. Two of the eight children had developed secondary myelodysplasia after alkylating agent-based combinati...
