Involvement and functional impairment of the CD34+CD38−Thy-1+ hematopoietic stem cell pool in myelodysplastic syndromes with trisomy 8
1 Jul 2002
Abstract excerpt
Clonality studies of mature cells suggest that the primary transformation event in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) most frequently occurs in a myeloid-restricted progenitor, a hypothesis supported by recent studies of purified CD34(+)Thy1(+) hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in cases with trisomy 8 (+8). In contrast, we recently demonstrated that a lymphomyeloid HSC is the target for transformation in MDS cases with...
