Subtype(s) Myelodysplastic neoplasm with low blasts and 5q deletion

Definition / Description of Disease

MDS with isolated del(5q) is a type of MDS with defining cytogenetic abnormality of del(5q). The World Health Organization named it as isolated del 5q, but occasionally the deletion can occur with an additional cytogenetic abnormality other than monosomy 7 or del(7q). The 5q- syndrome was first described by Van den Berghe et al as a distinct type of MDS featured with macrocytic anemia, hypolobulated megakaryocytes, a normal or increased platelet count [1]. Deletion of 5q is the most common recurrent cytogenetic abnormality in myeloid neoplasm and it was commonly seen in 10-15% of patients with MDS[2]. A ~1.5 Mb common deleted region (CDR) at 5q32-q33 was identified in 5q- syndrome patients and was associated with good prognosis [3]. This disease has a good respond to lenalidomide treatment (See Clinical Significance).

Synonyms / Terminology

Myelodysplastic syndromes with 5q deletion; 5q minus syndrome

  • Median age 67 years [4]
  • Women versus male about 2:1

The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.
  • Macrocytic anemia most common, usually severe and can be transfusion dependent.
  • Thrombocytosis can be seen in 1/3 to 1/2 of cases, whereas thrombocytopenia or neutropenia are uncommon.
  • Pancytopenia is rare. If pancytopenia with isolated 5q-, MDS with unclassifiable should be considered. [WHO]
  • Good prognosis and low risk to progress to AML.

Sites of Involvement

Blood or bone marrow

Morphologic Features

On bone marrow examination, cellularity is usually normal or hypercellular. Erythroid hypoplasia may be seen. Blasts cells are < 5% in the bone marrow and < 1% in the peripheral blood. The most characteristic feature of isolated 5q- is the presence of micromegakaryocytes with hypolobated nuclei [insert pic micromegakaryocyte]. The erythroid dysplasia may be seen but not predominant. Granulocytic dysplasia is uncommon.

Hypolobated micromegakaryocytes are also seen in CML, which is characterized by leukocytosis, basophilia, and myeloid hyperplasia with leftward shift. Platelet count increase can be seen in essential thrombocythemia (ET), but ET has large megakaryocytes with hyperlobulated nuclei rather than microkaryocytes with hypolobulation in MDS with isolated del(5q).

There is no distinct immunophenotypic profile specific for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with isolated del(5q). Currently, morphologic evaluation remains the gold standard in diagnosis of MDS. Immunophenotyping provides supportive evidence to clarify the blasts nature and percentage [5].

Please incorporate this section into the relevant tables found in:

  • Individual Region Genomic Gain/Loss/LOH
  • Characteristic Chromosomal Patterns
  • Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)

Diagnosis:

  • Cytopenia in 1 to 2 lineages. Cytopenias are defined as hemoglobin concentration < 10 g/dL, platelet count < 100 x 109/L and absolute neutrophil count < 1.8 x 109/L; mild degree of anemia (hemoglobin < 13 g/dL in men or < 12 g/dL in women) or thrombocytopenia (platelets < 150 x109/L) are allowed if defining cytogenetic abnormality is present. Thrombocytosis (platelet count ≥ 450 x 109/L) is allowed in MDS with isolated del(5q). PB monocytes must be < 1 x109/L.
  • Dysplasia in 1 to 3 lineages. Micromegakaryocytes with hypolobation are characteristic dysplasia. Ring sideroblasts are not common.
  • Blasts percentage: BM <5%, PB <1%, no Auer rods.
  • Interstitial deletion of 5q alone or with an additional abnormality other than loss of chromosome 7 or deletion of 7q.
  • Chromosome 7 loss or del(7q), more than one additional cytogenetic abnormality, excess blasts need to be excluded from the diagnosis.

Prognosis:

  • According to IPSS‐R good‐risk group with low rates of leukemic transformation [6].
  • The median survival of MDS with isolated del(5q) is 66 to 145 months.
  • About less than 10% of cases progress to acute myeloid leukemia [7].
  • Mutations of TP53 may function as an independent prognostic factor in associated with leukemic progression and resistant to lenalidomide[8][9].

Therapeutic Implications:

Lenalidomide is an analogue of thalidomide which functions as an immunomodulatory agent. Treatment with lenalidomide has shown great potential in reducing the abnormal clone as well as transfusion dependency irrespective of cytogenetic complexity [10][11]. FDA approved Lenalidomide on December 2005 for treating MDS with del(5q) with or without additional cytogenetic abnormalities.

editv4:Characteristic Chromosomal Aberrations / Patterns
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.

The most characteristic cytogenetic abnormality is an interstitial deletion on the long arm of chromosome 5 or del(5q)[1] The break point is not fixed but the region between bands q31 and q33 is generally deleted. Several candidates genes were thought to contribute to the haploinsufficiency effect of the deleted region, including RPS14 [12], CSNK1A1 [13], miR-145 and miR-146a [14]. Identification of del(5q) has clinical significance because patients with this cytogenetic abnormality have a good prognosis and they respond well to lenalidomide treatment.

Epigenomic Alterations

Genes involved in epigenetic regulation are frequently mutated in MDS such as TET2, DNMT3A, IDH1, IDH2, AXSL1, and EZH2 [16]. These genes play a role in DNA methylation and chromatin modification as well as regulating gene expression.

Genes and Main Pathways Involved

editv4:Genes and Main Pathways Involved
The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.

Several candidate genes in the common deleted region of 5q have been reported to contribute to the molecular pathogenesis.

RPS14: Encodes for ribosomal subunit of 40S. Inactivation of RPS14 results in ineffective erythroid differentiation and increased apoptosis in a p53 dependent way [17].

CSNK1A1: Encodes for CK1α, a serine/threonine protein kinase activity. Mutations in CSNK1A1 lead to clonal expansion of hematopoietic stem cells through activation of β-catenin [13].

miR-145 and miR146α: These two micro RNA genes are thought to be associated with thrombocytosis and hypolobulated megakaryocytes [18].

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

  • Bone marrow morphology and peripheral blood test are standard in diagnosis of MDS.
  • FISH probes targeting the CDR are commonly incorporated into MDS panel to assess -5/5q-.
  • Conventional cytogenetics are also helpful in diagnosis.
    Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) with a dual color DNA probe specific for the EGR1 (5q31.2) locus and to a distal short arm locus (5p15.31) of chromosome 5 detected two green and one red signal pattern that consistents with 5q deletion in 51% of patient's cells.
