Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) represent a heterogeneous group of blood disorders that are generally characterised by refractory anaemia (RA) or cytopenia, hypercellular bone marrow, and ineffective haematopoiesis. Most cases of MDS have an increased risk of transformation to acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). The prognosis of patients with MDS varies considerably, reflecting the underlying heterogeneity within this class of disorders.
