Myelodysplastic syndrome | Hematologic System Diseases | NCLEX-RN | Khan Academy

Myelodysplastic syndrome is sometimes referred to as “pre-leukemia” or a condition that occurs before leukemia (although most patients will never develop leukemia). In myelodysplastic syndrome, the gene mutation preventing the maturation of the blast cell is present, however the second gene mutation leading to uncontrolled cell replication is absent.

Thanks for sharing this! I was a MDS survivor about 11 years ago and I got curious about how this disease was threatening.

[wayne]

much more straightforward to understand MDS with this video, thank you~

This happened to my father MDS transformed into AML within 7 months and he passed very quickly. I have found through genetic testing that I carry a rare variant in SMARCA2 which I have passed onto my children

[LMAOINTX]

Thank you for this video. I can share it with my friends and family to help them understand the disease.

Is there another video that discusses the risk factors, signs and symptoms, as well as the treatments?

[violathecat]

Love that voice and presentation. Do you have any other video presentations?

[DanielMandel]

Wonderful explanation. From M2 student.

[briansharvill]

very good explanation, I only have one gripe. While I understand this video audience are not patients, it is still on You tube and patients, new patients such as myself don't want to hear that AML is not that much of a problem because the patients with MDS die off long before they get the chance.

I was so deeply into the professionalism and then that smacked me in the face. I was just diagnosed 9 hours ago and that was not really what I needed to hear. Maybe a little more editing is in order? or redo the way it is worded. its good info, even good news that the switch to AML is so low, but it could be put a different way? This is YouTube after all.

This video is really helpful, especially for clinicians.
