Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with isolated trisomy 8: a type of MDS frequently associated with myeloproliferative features? A report by the Groupe Francophone des Myélodysplasies.

abstract：:It has been suggested that in blast crisis (BC) of chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) the clinical and laboratory features of patients with 'lymphoid' phenotype differ from those of patients with non-lymphoid BC. In order to assess any differences, 97 patients consecutively diagnosed with BC that followed a known chronic...
