Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To clarify the possible biological differences and implication of the SF3B1 gene for patients with MDS-RS (myelodysplastic syndromes with ring sideroblasts). METHODS: Sanger sequencing was performed on mutation hotspots of the SF3B1 gene in MDS-RS patients. The differences between the SF3B1 mutated and wild-type subsets, including the ultrastructure of erythroid precursors, iron profile parameters,...
