Typical [[IHC]] in work-up of MDS:

*CD117 - (myeloid) progenitor/precursor cells, mast cells.

*Other megakaryocyte markers: factor VIII, vWF. (???)
*Other markers:  
**Factor VIII.
**vWF.
*Blasts - the gold standard: histomorphology.
**Most blasts are CD34 +ve.
***[[Flow cytometry]] not useful (yet) for MDS -- as CD34 +ve != blast; may change with more multiplexing.
**CD117 marks some blasts that are CD34 -ve.
 
=[[Cytogenetics]]=
*Important in the Dx and prognostication of MDS; however, only ~50% have a cytogenetic abnormality based on karyotyping.
 
Common changes:
#Isolated del(5q).
#Isolated del(17p).
#*Assoc. with pseudo-Pelger-Huet. (???)
#Monosomy 7.
#Monosomy 8.
 
There is a scoring system for cytogenetic abnormalities ''International Prognostic Scoring System'',<ref name=pmid21594886>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Garcia-Manero | first1 = G. | title = Myelodysplastic syndromes: 2011 update on diagnosis, risk-stratification, and management. | journal = Am J Hematol | volume = 86 | issue = 6 | pages = 490-8 | month = Jun | year = 2011 | doi = 10.1002/ajh.22047 | PMID = 21594886 }}
