“…A correlation between immunologic abnormalities and prognosis in patients with MDS has been observed by some authors, and data have been contradicted by other reports (22,24). Moreover, our results revealed a lack of difference in the incidence of clonal alterations between the 2 groups (43% and 39%, respectively).…”

“…However, a higher prevalence of 18.5% has been reported in a 4-year prospective study (22). Moreover, in a large Asian study, Okamoto et al observed an incidence of 12% of systemic manifestations associated with MDS and immune biologic abnormalities in 63% of cases (24). We report a high incidence of systemic and autoimmune manifestations in our series of MDS patients (19%), and we further suggest that this incidence might even be underestimated, since we performed a retrospective study with subsequent difficulties in collecting data.…”

“…As compared with CMML without SAIDs, our CMML patients with SAIDs showed unfavorable CMML features: more frequently CMML-2, poor karyotype and greater proportion of medullar blasts. No previous study has focused on survival of patients with CMML-associated SAIDs, and the impact of the SAIDs on survival remains controversial (16,17). Several reports showed that in patients with various SAIDs types, survival was similar in comparison with MDS without SAIDs.…”

“…However, sole PIG-A mutation is not sufficient for expansion of a PNH clone and clinical symptoms. Precise mechanisms of the clonal expansion are not yet known, probably, being coupled to bone marrow failure [12,21]. Such physiological mechanism is confirmed by higher incidence of PNH clone in patients with aplastic anemia (AA) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) [11,18,27,26,29,30].…”
