Figure 3. Short telomere MDS tends to be hypoplastic and hypoproliferative.

Figure 3.

Low power (20X) photomicrographs of bone marrow biopsies from a young adult showing normocellular marrow, a short telomere patient with a hypocellular marrow from hypoplastic myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and an adult with a hypercellular marrow in a patient with hyperplastic MDS as labeled above. Hypoplastic MDS is rare in unselected populations but represents more than half of short telomere MDS cases [27]. Images generously provided by Dr. Amy S.
