A 31-year-old woman presented with fever and arthralgla. Despite treatment with antimicrobials and cortlcosteroids, her symptoms persisted. A diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)-refractory anemia (RA) was made by pancytopenia, dysplasia, and trisomy 8. Cultures of bone marrow, blood, and gas

A novel missense mutation, G663A, in exon 5 of the erythroid-specific delta-aminolevulinate synthase gene (ALAS2) was identified in a Japanese male with pyridoxine-responsive sideroblastic anemia. Activity of the mutant delta-aminolevulinate synthase protein expressed in vitro was 15.1% compared wit
Gene amplification is one of the mechanisms for activating proto-oncogenes resulting in an enhanced expression of the corresponding gene product. By fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), amplification of the proto-oncogene MLL has been described only in seven patients with acute myeloid leukemi
