Disease

Myeloid disorders: myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukaemias (AML)

Phenotype stem cell origin

The AML case was a myelomonocytic leukaemia (M4-AML) with eosinophilia; one of the the MDS cases also showed bone marrow eosinophilia. One MDS case was treatment related (t-MDS), the first tumour was a mantle cell lymphoma.

Epidemiology

Only 3 cases to date, 1 male and 2 female patients, aged 47, 59, and 63 years (Neri et al., 1985; Bernard et al., 1989; Olney et al., 2002).

Genes Involved and Proteins

Note
The genes involved are unknown; because of the eosinophilia in at least 2 of 3 patients, it is likely that the gene involved in 16q22 is CBFB.
