It was observed that MDS cases with GATA2 mutation presented cytogenetic aberrations: the most frequent were chromosome 7 anomalies such as monosomy 7 and der (7) in 41% of investigated patients, followed by the gain of chromosome 8 (trisomy 8) in 15% of patients, while complex karyotype and deletion 5q were very rare or absent [68]. Here, GATA2 is linked to myelodysplastic syndrome.
