Differential expression of homologous recombination DNA repair genes in the early and advanced stages of myelodysplastic syndrome

Background The high incidence of mutations and cytogenetic abnormalities in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) suggests that defects in DNA repair mechanisms. We monitored DNA repair pathways in MDS and their alterations during disease progression. Methods Expression profiling of DNA repai...

Description
Summary:Background The high incidence of mutations and cytogenetic abnormalities in patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) suggests that defects in DNA repair mechanisms. We monitored DNA repair pathways in MDS and their alterations during disease progression. Methods Expression profiling of DNA repair genes was performed on CD34+ cells, and paired samples were used for monitoring of RAD51 and XRCC2 gene expression during disease progression. Immunohistochemical staining for RAD51 was done on histology samples. Results RAD51 and XRCC2 showed differential expression between low‐risk and high‐risk MDS (P
