Abstract EN
Refractory anaemia with ring sideroblasts and marked thrombocytosis (RARS-T) is a provisional entity in the World Health Organization (WHO) classification.
It displays features characteristic of both myelodysplastic syndrome and myeloproliferative neoplasia plus ring sideroblasts ≥15% and marked thrombocytosis.
Most patients with RARS-T show a normal karyotype.
We report a 76-year-old woman diagnosed with RARS-T (76% of ring sideroblasts) with JAK2 (V617F) mutation and a load of 30–40%.
Classical and molecular cytogenetic (FISH) studies of a bone marrow sample revealed the presence of isodicentric X chromosome [(idic(X)(q13)].
Moreover, HUMARA assay showed the idic(X)(q13) as the active X chromosome.
This finding was correlated with the cytochemical finding of ring sideroblasts.
To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an active isodicentric X in a woman with RARS-T.
