Abstract
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a heterogenous group of diseases sharing some clinical and morphological features. Their cause is unknown. Since the rapid development of molecular genetics allows an insight into underlying genetic aberrations, today it is possible to determine some pathogenetic mechanisms in MDS. In this presentation we would like to explain some of the discoveries in this area and their connection to the
myelodysplastic phenotype as seen in everyday cytomorphology work.
