bcl-2 expression in myelodysplastic syndromes and its correlation with hematological features, p53 mutations and prognosis.

Abstract excerpt

We looked for bcl-2 protein expression by immunocytochemistry on bone marrow slides from 51 cases of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), of whom 25 received some form of chemotherapy. Forty-six of them had at least 20% bcl-2 positive blasts and the median percentage of positive blasts was 80%, whereas myeloid cells beyond blasts were always negative. No correlation was found between bcl-2 expression and the FAB type...
