Multiparameter Flow Cytometric Analysis Reveals Low Percentage of Bone Marrow Hematogones in Myelodysplastic Syndromes
24 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
Diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) could be difficult. We explored the usefulness of the enumeration of maturing B-lineage precursors (hematogones) by multiparameter flow cytometric analysis in the diagnosis of MDS in bone marrow (BM) specimens. We evaluated 111 MDS, 120 non-MDS (most with cytopenias; control group 1), and 41 noncytopenic lymphoma staging BM (control group 2) specimens. The percentage...
