*p<0.05 vs. WT; &p<0.05 vs. MDS; Abbreviations: WT = wild type; MDS = myelodysplastic syndrome; DFP = deferiprone; Gata1 = erythroid transcription factor; Bcl11a B cell lymphoma 11 a; ProE = pro-erythroblasts; BasoE = basophilic erythroblasts; PolyE = polychromatophilic erythroblasts; OrthoE = orthochromatophilic erythroblasts; NS = not significant. This evidence concerns the gene GATA1 and myelodysplastic syndrome.
