Results from a retrospective study compared and explored biomarkers associated with outcomes in myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with plasma cell neoplasms. MDS is a group of heterogeneous clonal ...

A rare mutation on the BCL6-corepressor gene correlated with worse overall survival in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). However, allogenic stem cell ...

Tobacco smoking is linked to specific genetic mutations in MDS, affecting chromatin modification and RNA splicing pathways. A dose-response relationship exists, with higher smoking intensity ...

Patients with MDS or its precursor conditions sometimes wonder if quitting smoking is truly worth it since they already are ill, said Dr. Sangeetha Venugopal, a physician-scientist at Sylvester ...

Smokers with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or a precursor condition had elevated levels of genetic mutations linked to the ...

Smokers with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or a precursor condition had elevated levels of genetic mutations linked to the disease, a new study shows. The study also found that heavier smokers ...

SAN DIEGO — A new study linked longer duration and deeper intensity of tobacco smoking to more genetic mutations in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs), a group of bone marrow cancers that are similar to ...
