Better prognosis for patients with del(7q) than for patients with monosomy 7 in myelodysplastic syndrome

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Abnormalities involving chromosome 7 are frequent in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and suggest a poor prognosis. METHODS: The authors examined the hypothesis that the clinical features and survival associated with isolated deletion (del) of part of the long arm of chromosome 7 (7q) in MDS are different from those associated with isolated monosomy 7 (complete loss of chromosome 7).
