Abstract:
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are clonal disorders characterized by the accumulation of complex genomic abnormalities that defined disease phenotype,prognosis,and the risk of transformation to acute myeloid leukemia.The clinical manifestations and prognosis of patients with different phenotypes arevary different,and the overall survival varies from several months to several years.Prognostic scoring systems are important staging tools that aided physicians in their treatment recommendations and decision-making and could help patients understand their disease trajectory and expectations.These models and others use mainly clinical variables that are obtained from bone marrow biopsy and peripheral blood measurements.Adding gene mutation data into current models might improve the total predictive power.The search for an optimal way to merge the clinical and genomic data in a sophisticated and highly accurate model remains a work in progress.A comprehensive geno-clinical model that could translate the use of genomic data into clinical practice would finally be established.This paper mainly introduces the progress of the gene mutations and prognosis models of MDS in the 60th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meetings were reviewed.
