Familial aggregation myelodysplastic syndromes/acute myeloid leukemia: report of one pedigree and review of literature / 白血病·淋巴瘤

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the diagnosis, clinical characteristics, gene mutation and treatment of familial aggregation myelodysplastic syndromes/acute myeloid leukemia (MDS/AML). Methods Bone marrow morphocytology, immunophenotype, cytogenetics, gene mutation, therapeutic effects and prognosis of the brothers in the line of MDS/AML patients were analyzed, and the related literature was reviewed. Results The prover developed AML after the diagnosis of MDS-refractory anemia with excess blasts-Ⅰ (MDS-RAEB Ⅰ) for 4 months. With elder brother developed MDS RAEB-Ⅱ after the diagnosis of MDS-refractory cytopenia with multilineage dysplasia for 3 months. The survival period was 5 and 8 months. Conclusion Familial aggregation MDS/AML is rare with poor prognosis, and its diagnosis needs to be combined with family history, cytogenetics and molecular biology.
