del 11(q23) as a prognostic factor of iron overload in refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts
1997
We present the case of a patient with MDS RARS subtype with loss of part of the long arm of chromosome 11 del 11(q23). This a cytogenetic abnormality that occurs in 7% to 20% of RARS cases not related to poor prognosis. It seems that this deletion is a marker of iron overload in MDS.
