Background: Myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS)) is a common hematological malignancy. Patients with myelodysplastic syndrome combined with thrombosis have been encounter in clinical practice. However, the incidence of thrombosis and the risk factors of thrombosis related to Chinese MDS patients are not fully understood.
Materials and Methods: Clinical data from a total of 133 Chinese MDS patients with were studied and analyzed.
Results:The study population consisted of 133 patients with primary diagnosis of MDS,69(52%) males and 64 (48%) females ,range 47–81 years. In terms of gender ratio (P = 0.68), age (P = 0.82), white blood cell count (P = 0.87), hemoglobin (P = 0.78), platelet count (P = 0.83), and IPSS-R risk stratification, there was no significant difference between the two groups. PAI-1 4G4G showed significant differences between the two groups(P=0.0009), suggesting a thrombotic risk factor. There was significant difference between the two groups in SF3B1 mutations. In ASXL1(P = 0 .6)、BCOR(P = 0 .66)、EZH2(P = 0 .66) and SRSF2(P = 0 .6) there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups.In either group, STAG2, U2AF1 and ZRSR2 were not mutated, so no statistical analysis could be conducted.
Conclusion: The incidence of venous thrombosis in primary MDS in China is 5.26%. SF3B1 mutations and PAI-1 gene 4G4G are associated with thrombotic events in Chinese MDS patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
