Abstract excerpt
We performed prospective sequential cytogenetic studies in 76 patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) followed up to 82 months. Their karyotypes were followed routinely, regardless of clinical status. The incidence of evolutive karyotypes was similar in patients with a normal karyotype at referral and in patients with clonal abnormalities at diagnosis (24.5 and 26.1%, respectively). We did not find...
