The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of diseases in which the production of blood cells by the bone marrow is disrupted. In contrast to leukaemia, in which one specific type of blood cell (the white cell) is produced in excessively large numbers, the production of any, and sometimes of all, types of blood cells is affected.
The myelodysplastic syndromes were formerly referred to by many names including preleukaemia. The term preleukaemia is no longer used because it is very misleading. Although a minority of patients with MDS develop acute leukaemia, most do not. When leukaemic transformation does occur, it is to acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). This form of leukaemia is typically more difficult to treat than primary AML (cases arising in patients with no previous bone marrow disease).
The bone marrow in myelodysplastic syndrome is typically more active than normal and yet the numbers of blood cells in the circulation are reduced. This is because most of the cells being produced in the bone marrow are defective and are destroyed before they leave the bone marrow to enter the blood stream. The hallmark of the myelodysplastic syndromes is the combination of a hyperactive marrow with low blood cell counts. A reduction in numbers of all types of blood cell is called pancytopaenia. The other common feature of the myelodysplastic syndromes is abnormality in the appearance of the bone marrow and blood cells. These abnormalities (e.g. white cells lacking normal granules) are characteristic of the condition.

General Information
The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of disorders characterized by 1 or more peripheral blood cytopenias secondary to bone marrow dysfunction. The syndromes may arise de novo, or secondarily after treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy for other diseases. Secondary myelodysplasia usually has a poorer prognosis than does de novo myelodysplasia. Prognosis is directly related to the number of bone marrow blast cells and to the degree of peripheral blood cytopenias. The MDS transform to acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in about 30% of patients after various intervals from diagnosis, and at variable rates (refer to the Cellular Classification section for more information). The acute leukemic transformation is much less responsive to chemotherapy than is de novo AML. Prognosis is also related to the type of myelodysplastic syndrome. Supportive care has been the mainstay of treatment. Judicious use of platelet and blood transfusions and iron chelation may prevent or delay alloimmunization and iron overload, and favorably affect prognosis. The MDS are characterized by abnormal bone marrow and blood cell morphology. Megaloblastic erythroid hyperplasia with macrocytic anemia associated with normal B12 and folate levels is frequently observed. Circulating granulocytes are frequently severely reduced in number, often hypogranular or hypergranular, and may display the acquired pseudo-Pelger-Huet abnormality. Early, abnormal myeloid progenitors are identified in the marrow in varying percentages, depending on the type of myelodysplastic syndrome. Abnormally small megakaryocytes (micromegakaryocytes) are seen in the marrow and hypogranular or giant platelets appear in the blood.
