Human disease

human disease

diverse collection of blood-related medical conditions with ineffective production of the myeloid class of blood cells

myelodysplastic syndrome defined by 5-9% blasts in the bone marrow, and <5% blasts in the blood. Approximately 25% of cases progress to an acute leukemia. (WHO)

myelodysplastic syndrome defined by 10-19% blasts in the bone marrow or 5-19% blasts in the blood and <10% blasts in the bone marrow. Approximately 33% of cases progress to acute leukemia. The prognosis is usually poor. (WHO)

medical condition

myeloid neoplasm that is located in the bone marrow which results in bone marrow being replaced by fibrous (scar) tissue

human disease

human disease

myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms with eosinophilia and abnormalities of PDGFRA, PDGFRB, and FGFR1 that is characterized by the rearrangement of the PDGFRB gene, most often resulting in the formation of ETV6-PDGFRB fusion transcripts

solid tumor composed of immature white blood cells called myeloblasts.

spina bifida characterized by protrusion of the spinal cord through an opening, covered by meningeal membranes

human disease

myeloid neoplasm that is characterized by a group of slow growing blood cancers in which large numbers of abnormal red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets grow and spread in the bone marrow and the peripheral blood

This subgroup of myeloproliferative neoplasms includes cases which do not meet the morphologic criteria of any of the defined myeloproliferative neoplasms, or which have characteristics that overlap at least two of the myeloproliferative neoplasms

human disease

blood platelet disease that has material basis in mutations in the MYH9 gene. It is characterized by thrombocytopenia, enlarged platelets, sensorineural hearing loss and presenile cataract

medical condition

parasitic ectoparasitic infectious disease that is caused by parasitic dipterous fly larvae (maggots) feeding on the host's necrotic or living tissue

human disease

dystonia characterized by myoclonic jerks affecting mostly proximal muscles and dystonia, usually torticollis or writer's cramp, that typically responds to alcohol and has onset in the first of second decade of life

myoclonic dystonia characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance and association with psychiatric disorder that has material basis in heterozygous mutation in the SGCE gene on chromosome 7q21

myoclonic dystonia characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance that has material basis in variation in the chromosome region 18p11

human disease

human disease

medical sign, rapid involuntary irregular muscle contractions

This syndrome is characterised by the association of myoclonus, cerebellar ataxia and sensorineural hearing loss
