3 The Myelodysplastic Syndromes MDS; a heterogeneous spectrum of myeloid disorders characterized by: Ineffective hematopoiesis Dysplastic cells in peripheral blood and BM Low blood cell counts ([pan-] cytopenia) progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML)

4 Diagnostic approach to MDS 2012 Diagnostic tool Diagnostic value Priority Peripheral blood smear Bone marrow aspirate Evaluation of dysplasia in one or more cell lines Enumeration of blasts Evaluation of dysplasia in one or more myeloid cell lines Enumeration of blasts Enumeration of ring sideroblasts Mandatory Mandatory Bone marrow biopsy Assessment of cellularity, CD34+ cells, and fibrosis Mandatory Cytogenetic analysis FISH Flow cytometry immunophenotyping SNP-array Mutation analysis of candidate genes* Detection of acquired clonal chromosomal abnormalities that can allow a conclusive diagnosis and also prognostic assessment Detection of targeted chromosomal abnormalities in interphase nuclei following failure of standard G- banding Detection of abnormalities in erythroid, immature myeloid, maturing granulocytes, monocytes, immature and mature lymphoid compartments Detection of chromosomal defects at a high resolution in combination with metaphase cytogenetics Detection of somatic mutations that can allow a conclusive diagnosis and also reliable prognostic evaluation Mandatory Recommended Recommended Suggested (likely to become a diagnostic tool in the near future) Suggested (likely to become a diagnostic tool in the near future) Malcovati L, et al., ELN guidelines 2012 (submitted); Loosdrecht AA van de, et al., Nederlandse richtlijnen voor diagnostiek en behandeling 2012 (in preparation)

5 Minimal diagnostic criteria in MDS A. Prerequisite Criteria constant cytopenia in one or more cell lineages exclusion of all other hematopoietic or non-hematopoietic disorders B. MDS-related (Decisive) Criteria dysplasia in > 10% of all cells in one of the lineages, or > 15% ring sideroblasts (iron stain) 5 19% blast cells in bone marrow smears typical chromosomal abnormality (karyotyping or FISH) FISH = fluorescence in situ hybridization.

40 Conclusions: diagnostics and prognostics in MDS 2012 A full diagnostic screen should be assessed by patients with cytopenia according to ELN guidelines MDS should be categorized according to WHO2008 Each patient should be assessed according to the WPSS/IPSS-revised prognostic scoring systems Mutational status and flow cytometric aberrancies may be of additional prognostic value
