Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukaemia who also have Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, a genetic disorder associated with a high risk of blood cancers.
- Conducted as a multicenter, retrospective cohort study, researchers reviewed medical records from 17 centers across the USA and Canada to gather data on eligible patients between 2001 and 2017.
- The findings reveal that out of 37 initially identified patients, 36 were included in the final analysis, with those presenting myelodysplastic syndrome having a median overall survival of 7.7 years, while those with acute myeloid leukaemia had much lower survival rates.
