Abstract:
Objective To analyze clonal chromosomal abnormalities of patients with MDS and evaluate prognosis combining with complete blood counts and blast counts. Methods The chromosomes were prepared with direct method, brief culture of cells and R-banding techniques, and then the karyotypie analysis was performed. Results Abnormal chromosomes were detected 44.9%, including the numeral abnormalities of chromosomes and structural alterations.The most common chromosomal aberrations were -7,+8.The rate of abnormal karotype in refractory anemia with erythroblasts (RAEB1 and RAEB2) was much higher than in refractory anemia (RA) and refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts (RAILS). Chromosomal abnormalities correlated positively with bone marrow blasts. Conclusion Karyotype analysis is very useful for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis evaluation in MDS.
