Article Synopsis
  • - Myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS) are blood disorders often linked to chromosomal abnormalities, with 40-45% of cases showing these changes at diagnosis and up to 80% in post-treatment MDS.
  • - Recent changes in classifications by the WHO and ICC have introduced a new entity focusing on biallelic TP53 inactivation, which necessitates detailed genetic investigations, particularly on the TP53 locus.
  • - While molecular features are becoming more essential for diagnosing and prognosing MDS, traditional cytogenetics—including karyotyping—remains crucial, and new scoring systems have been developed combining genetic mutations with established cytogenetic parameters.
