The myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of clonal hematopoietic stem cell diseases characterized by cytopenia(s), dysplasia (abnormal growth or development leading to an alteration in size, shape, and organization of the cell) in one or more of the major myeloid cell lines (WBC, RBC, and/or platelets), ineffective hematopoiesis, and an increased risk of developing acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). MDS occurs primarily in older adults, with a median age of 70 years. The majority of recipients present with symptoms related to cytopenias. Most recipients present with anemia requiring RBC transfusions.

Primary or de novo MDS occurs without a known history of chemotherapy or radiation exposure. Some inherited hematologic disorders, such as Fanconi anemia, dyskeratosis congenita, Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, and Diamond-Blackfan syndrome are associated with an increased risk of MDS.

Question 1: Date of diagnosis of primary disease for HCT / cellular therapy

Report the date of the first pathological diagnosis (e.g., bone marrow or tissue biopsy) of the disease. Enter the date the sample was collected for examination. If the diagnosis was determined at an outside center, and no documentation of a pathological or laboratory assessment is available, the dictated date of diagnosis within a physician note may be reported. Do not report the date symptoms first appeared.

If the recipient’s MDS progressed to from a lower grade MDS to a higher grade MDS, report the diagnosis date of the original MDS diagnosis (i.e., the lower MDS grade). The transformation date (i.e., diagnosis of the higher grade) is captured below.

If the recipient’s MDS transformed to AML prior to HCT, report the diagnosis date of AML and ensure the primary disease for infusion is reported as AML. Ensure AML section of the Disease Classification Form is completed appropriately. The MDS diagnosis date is captured below.

If the exact diagnosis date is not known, use the process described in General Instructions, Guidelines for Completing Forms

Question 195: What was the MDS subtype at diagnosis?

CIBMTR captures the MDS classification based on the World Health Organization (2022) WHO classification. Indicate the MDS subtype at diagnosis.

Report the most specific entity that applies to the recipient. For example, if the recipient was classified using both defining genetic abnormalities and differentiation, the defining genetic abnormality classification should be reported for classification purposes. Additionally, if the recipient meets the criteria for MDS-5q, MDS-SF3B1, and MDS-biTP53 report the disease subtype as MDS-biTP53.

In some cases, disease specific cytogenetic and / or molecular abnormalities are not identified at the initial diagnosis but identified at some point prior to the infusion, report the most disease specific entity. Review the example below for further clarification:

  • Example 1: A recipient diagnosed with MDS had only a bone marrow biopsy and karyotyping performed at diagnosis. The bone marrow identified MDS with low blasts and karyotyping was normal. Induction began and additional FISH testing for deletion 5q was completed after starting treatment which identified deletion 5q. The disease classification should be reported as Myelodysplastic syndrome with low blasts and isolated 5q deletion.

Questions 196 – 197: Specify Myelodysplastic syndrome, unclassifiable (MDS-U)

Specify the Myelodysplastic syndrome, unclassifiable (MDS-U) and and indicate whether documentation was submitted to the CIBMTR (e.g., pathology report).

For further instructions on how to attach documents in FormsNet3 SM, refer to the Training Guide.

Question 198: Was the disease (MDS) therapy-related?

Agents such as radiation or systemic therapy used to treat other diseases (e.g., Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or breast cancer) can damage the marrow and lead to a secondary malignancy, such as MDS.

If the diagnosis of MDS is therapy-related, select Yes. If the diagnosis of MDS is not therapy-related, select No. If it is unknown if the MDS is therapy-related, select Unknown.

Do not report Yes if the recipient developed MDS after an environmental exposure (e.g., exposure to benzene).

Question 199: Did the recipient have a predisposing condition?

A predisposing condition contributes to the susceptibility of developing MDS. Therefore, diagnosis of the condition increases the likelihood that the recipient will develop MDS. If the recipient has a documented history of a predisposing condition, select Yes. If there is no history of a predisposing condition or if predisposition is unknown, indicate No or Unknown.

Questions 200 – 201: Specify condition

Specify the recipient’s predisposing condition.

  • Aplastic anemia may progress to MDS and/or AML. Aplastic anemia is a broad classification referring to bone marrow failure characterized by pancytopenia and marrow hypoplasia. If aplastic anemia is selected and the recipient is on the CRF track, the Aplastic Anemia Pre-HCT (2028) Form will come due.
  • DDX41-associated familial MDS is a rare germline heterozygous mutation. DDX41 represents a class of tumor suppressor genes in myeloid neoplasms.
  • Diamond-Blackfan anemia is a rare genetic disorder that affects the ability of the marrow from producing red blood cells. These recipients may present with anemia, recipients may also exhibit physical abnormalities such as: small head size, cleft lip, webbed neck, defects of the hands and a short stature. Fanconi anemia is a rare genetic blood disorder that prevents the body from producing a sufficient number of new blood cells to function properly. Abnormal blood cells may also be produced. These recipients are short in stature, exhibit skeletal abnormalities, and have an increased risk of developing solid tumors, MDS, and leukemias. If Fanconi anemia is selected and the recipient is on the CRF track, the Fanconi Anemia Pre-HCT (2029) Form will come due.
  • GATA2 deficiency is a rare genetic disorder which can cause a variety of issues including viral and bacterial infections, cytopenias, myelodysplasia, myeloid leukemias, pulmonary alveolar proteinosis and lymphedema.
  • Li-Fraumeni syndrome is a rare genetic disorder which increases the risk of developing several types of cancers, notably: breast cancer, osteosarcoma, sarcoma, brain tumors and leukemias. Li-Fraumeni syndromes are associated with mutations in the TP53 gene.
  • Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare genetic disorder of the blood cells. The disease is characterized by destruction of red blood cells. blood clots and impaired bone marrow function. PNH is very closely related and often derives from aplastic anemia. If PNH is selected and the recipient is on the CRF track, the Aplastic Anemia Pre-HCT (2028) Form will come due.
  • RUNX1 deficiency was previously known as “familial platelet disorder with propensity to myeloid malignancies”. Recipients with RUNX1 deficiencies typically present with mild to moderate thrombocytopenia with normal-sized platelets, functional platelets defects leading to prolonged bleeding and an increased risk to develop myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), or T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL).
  • SAMD9- or SAMD9L-associated familial MDS are germline mutations which can result in a spectrum of multisystem disorders that carry a markedly increased risk of developing myeloid malignancies.
  • Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder in which is characterized by exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, bone marrow dysfunction, and skeletal abnormalities.
  • Telomere biology disorder (including dyskeratosis congenita) are a complex set of inherited conditions defined by the presence of very short telomeres. Telomere biology disorder can be characterized by bone marrow failure and lung disease.

If the recipient had a predisposing condition not listed above, select Other condition and specify the condition.

A list of entities that would fall into the Other condition category include: ETV6-related familial thrombocytopenia, ANKRD26-related familial thrombocytopenia, SRP72-related familial aplastic anemia/MDS, MBD4-related familial leukemia, Bloom Syndrome, Noonan Syndrome, Neurofibromatosis, Downs Syndrome, ATG2B/GSKIP duplication (chromosome 14q32.2), MECOM-associated syndrome.

If karyotyping was not performed at diagnosis or it is unknown if performed, indicate No and continue.

Question 227: Sample source

Indicate if the sample was from Bone marrow or from Blood. If multiple sources were used for karyotyping assessments at diagnosis, the preferred sample source is the bone marrow.

Question 228: Results of test

If karyotyping assessments identified abnormalities, indicate Abnormalities identified.

If karyotyping assessments yielded No evaluable metaphases or there were No abnormalities identified, indicate as such.

Question 229 – 232: Specify cytogenetic abnormalities (karyotyping) identified at diagnosis

Report the International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature (ISCN) compatible string, if applicable. Refer to Appendix C for more information on how to report using the ISCN functionality.

Question 234: Did the recipient progress or transform to a different MDS subtype or AML between diagnosis and the start of the preparative regimen / infusion?

Indicate if the recipient’s disease progressed to AML or transformed into a different MDS subtype between initial diagnosis and the start of the preparative regimen / infusion. Approximately one third of MDS cases transform into AML, signifying a poorer prognosis. Progression to AML is defined by an increase in blood or bone marrow blasts equal to or greater than 20%.

MDS subtypes may also transform / progress from one into another. A progression from one subtype of MDS to another indicates that the number of cytopenias, number of blasts, and/or morphology of marrow sufficiently qualified them for a higher grade (i.e., more severe) MDS. For example, an MDS classified as MDS-SLD at diagnosis whose blast count rises to 8% as documented on bone marrow aspirate would have progressed to MDS-EB-1.

Conversely, do not report a progression / transformation if the recipient’s assessments after diagnosis show that they qualify for a lower grade (i.e., less severe MDS). For example, a recipient who is diagnosed with MDS-EB-2, but whose assessments show that they meet the criteria for MDS-EB-1 as a response to treatment, would not qualify as a progression or transformation. In this example, the disease is lower grade (i.e., less severe), rather than a higher grade (i.e., more severe) so it should not be reported as a progression/transformation. See the table below for guidance in determining the severity of MDS progressions and transformations.

Grade of MDS Progression/Transformations

Lower Grade >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> Higher Grade
MDS-SLD / MDS-RS-SLD / MDS-RS-MLD / Childhood MDS MDS-MLD MDS-EB-1 MDS-EB-2 AML
JMML/CMML AML

Indicate if the recipient’s disease progressed to AML or transformed from one MDS subtype to another. If the recipient’s disease transformed or progressed, select Yes. If there was no documented transformation or progression, select No.

Question 235: Specify the MDS subtype after transformation

Indicate the recipient’s current MDS subtype after transformation. If the recipient experienced more than one transformation after diagnosis, report the most recent subtype. For a list of MDS subtypes and their diagnostic criteria, see Appendix H.

If the recipient progressed or transformed to MDS unclassifiable, specify the MDS-U subtype. If the disease progressed to AML, continue with to report the date of MDS diagnosis. If MDS progresses to AML and the recipient is on the CRF track, the Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML) Pre-HCT (2010) Form will also come due.

For all other progressions or transformations, continue with to specify the date of the most recent transformation.

Question 236: Specify Myelodysplastic syndrome, unclassifiable (MDS-U)

The classification of myelodysplastic syndrome, unclassifiable (MDS-U) would be based off the bone marrow biopsy pathology report and can be reported as one of the following:

  • MDS-U with 1% blood blasts
  • MDS-U with single lineage dysplasia and pancytopenia
  • MDS-U based on defining cytogenetic abnormality

Specify the Myelodysplastic syndrome, unclassifiable (MDS-U) using the definitions listed.

Question 237: Specify the date of the most recent transformation
