- Background: Impact of transfusion dependency on survival
- Effects at least in part connected to iron overload
- Indication: IPSS LOW/INT-1
- Different thresholds of ferritin (>1000-2500)
- Retrospective studies show OS by chelation
- Prospective clinical trials runinng (TELESTO)

Conclusion
;
• Great clinical heterogeneity of MDS
• Scoring systems: Low-risk vs. High-risk
• Need of better (molecular) scoring
• Paucity of approved drugs
• AZA improves OS compared to BSC
• Allo-HCT in pts <70 years feasible
• Importance of clinical trials

Aberrant DNA methylation is a dominant mechanism in MDS progression to AML
Methods: DNA methylation microarray and high-density SNP array
Aberrant methylation was seen in every sample, on average affecting
91 of 1,505 CpG loci in early MDS
179 of 1,505 CpG loci in RAEB/AML
