Abstract
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), considered a pre-leukemic state, has recently been categorized as a subset of bone marrow failure syndromes. Unlike other subtypes of bone marrow failure syndromes, such as aplastic anemia or dyskeratosis congenita, little is known about genetic alterations of human telomerase in MDS, despite the fact that immune cells from patients with MDS frequently exhibit telomere attrition.
