MDS WITH RING SIDEROBLASTS (MDS-RS)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

MDS-RS exhibits a low number of one or more types of blood cells<\/strong> in the bloodstream and bone marrow. At least 15% of\u00a0immature red blood cell precursors (contain a nucleus)<\/strong>\u00a0in the bone marrow show rings of iron called ring sideroblasts. Less than 5% of cells in the bone marrow are blast cells. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 2 types of MDS-RS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

MDS-RS and Single Lineage Dysplasia (MDS-RS-SLD):<\/strong> has the same characteristics as MDS-SLD; where only\u00a0one type of blood cell has at least 10% of the cells that look abnormal (dysplasia)<\/strong>\u00a0but this subtype also has ring sideroblasts on the\u00a0red blood cell precursors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

MDS-RS and Multilineage Dysplasia (MDS-RS-MLD):<\/strong> has the same characteristics as MDS-MLD; where\u00a0two or more types of blood cell has at least 10% of the cells that look abnormal (dysplasia)<\/strong>\u00a0but this subtype also has ring sideroblasts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\r\n
