Multiparametric flow cytometry is a useful co-criterion for diagnostic confirmation of MDS in patients with peripheral cytopenias and a normal karyotype. We examined the impact on patients' survival of several phenotypic aberrancies detected by a small 4-color panel of monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs). Diagnosis of the patients (54) was made by WHO criteria using peripheral blood counts, bone marrow (BM) morphology and karyotype. Flow cytometry was performed at diagnosis, and features obtained… 
Immunophenotyping in Myelodysplastic Syndromes Can Add Prognostic Information to Well-Established and New Clinical Scores
TLDR
Immunophenotypic analysis of myelomonocytic progenitors provides additional prognostic information to all clinical scores studied and IPSS-R improved risk stratification in MDS compared to the former scores.
Improving the differential diagnosis between myelodysplastic syndromes and reactive peripheral cytopenias by multiparametric flow cytometry: the role of B-cell precursors
TLDR
Analysis of myelomonocytic precursors and CD34+ cells was satisfactory for the differential diagnosis between reactive PB cytopenias and MDS, and the most specific alterations were found in CD34+, the most important aberrancies in MDS.
Utility of peripheral blood flow cytometry in differentiating low grade versus high grade myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and in the evaluation of cytopenias.
TLDR
The data suggests that FC of PB may be helpful in the work-up of patients with cytopenias and in the differential diagnosis of low-grade vs. high-grade MDS.
Computerized texture analysis of atypical immature myeloid precursors in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes: an entity between blasts and promyelocytes
TLDR
BM atypical immature myeloid precursors are difficult to be correctly classified in routine cytology, and computerized texture analysis indicates a nuclear chromatin remodeling more close to the promyelocyte, thus indicating an asynchronous intermediate maturation stage between blast and promYelocyte.
Characteristics of the phenotypic abnormalities of bone marrow cells in childhood myelodysplastic syndromes and juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia
Immunophenotyping of bone marrow (BM) hemopoietic precursors is useful for diagnosis of adult myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), but data concerning pediatric patients are limited. We analyzed…

Identification of distinct prognostic subgroups in low- and intermediate-1-risk myelodysplastic syndromes by flow cytometry.
TLDR
Flow cytometry in MDS identified aberrancies in the myelomonocytic lineage not otherwise determined by cytomorphology, which might have impact on treatment decisions and the prognostic scoring system in the near future.
Diagnostic application of flow cytometric characteristics of CD34+ cells in low-grade myelodysplastic syndromes.
TLDR
A reproducible, flow cytometric scoring system is constructed for LGw/oRS diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndromes and various abnormalities of CD34(+) cells-eg, decrease in CD 34(+) B-cell precursors, aberrant expression or overexpression of various antigens on CD34 (+) myeloblasts-were observed.
Myeloid and monocytic dyspoiesis as determined by flow cytometric scoring in myelodysplastic syndrome correlates with the IPSS and with outcome after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
TLDR
The data suggest that FCSS is useful in assessing marrows for diagnosis of MDS and in determining the prognostic outcome in patients with this disorder.
Four-color flow cytometry shows strong concordance with bone marrow morphology and cytogenetics in the evaluation for myelodysplasia.
TLDR
The ability of 4-color flow cytometry to help identify myelodysplastic syndromes (MDSs) was evaluated in 124 bone marrow aspirates from unselected patients with unexplained cytopenias and/or monocytosis, demonstrating the strong concordance of FC-identified antigenic abnormalities with morphologic features and cytogenetics in the evaluation of patientswith unexplained cy topenias.
Myeloblast Phenotypic Changes in Myelodysplasia
TLDR
The antigen mapping technique was found to be an efficient data presentation and analysis method for the detection of MDS-associated abnormalities of antigen distribution and density and there was a direct relationship between the number of myeloblast phenotypic abnormalities (phenotypic score) and MDS grade.
Multiparameter flow cytometric analysis reveals low percentage of bone marrow hematogones in myelodysplastic syndromes.
TLDR
Interestingly, the percentage of hematogones was not significantly different between MDS subgroups or patients with MDS with and without chromosomal abnormalities, implying that a defect in maturing B-cell precursors may be an early event in the pathogenesis of MDS.
