WHO classification of myeloid neoplasms • Myeloproliferative neoplasms • Myelodysplastic syndromes • Myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasms • Acute myeloid leukemia
2008 WHO classification of MDS Ineffective hematopoiesis RCUD RARS Progression to AML (25-30%) RCMD RAEB-1 RAEB-2 Peripheral blood cytopenia MDS del(5q) Cazzola M. File image 2013
Outcome of MDS according to WHO classification 943 MDS pts Cazzola. Haematologica. 2011 Mar;96(3):349-52.
Diagnosis of MDSis currently reliant on bone marrow morphology and cytogenetics • Peripheral cytopenia • Dysplasia • Clonal cytogenetic abnormality
Diagnosis of MDSis currently reliant on bone marrow morphology and cytogenetics • Peripheral cytopenia • Dysplasia • Clonal cytogenetic abnormality • lack of specificity • poor inter-observer reliability
Clinical relevance of the molecular basis of disease • Philadelphia-negative MPN: - 2005: JAK2 (V617F) - 2008: WHO diagnostic criteria - 2010: safety & efficacy of ruxolitinib in PMF - 2012: FDA & EMA approval of ruxolitinib for treatment of PMF

Refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts associated with marked thrombocytosis (RARS-T)as the paradigmatic example of MDS/MPN Abnormal megakaryocyte proliferation (myeloproliferative feature) Anemia & thrombocytosis Ring sideroblasts (myelodysplastic feature)
RARS-T: molecular basis Somatic mutation of SF3B1 determining mitochondrial iron overload, ineffective erythropoiesis and anemia Somatic mutation of JAK2 or MPL determining gain of signaling and thrombocytosis Normal hematopoietic cell Ring sideroblasts and ineffective erythropoiesis (myelodysplastic features of RARS) Ring sideroblasts and thrombocytosis (myelodysplastic & myeloproliferative features of RARS-T) Cazzola et al.
