Detection of Abnormal Pretransplant Clones in Progenitor Cells of Patients Who Developed Myelodysplasia After Autologous Transplantation

From the Section on Hematology and Oncology, the Department of Medicine, and the Section on Medical Genetics, the Department of Pediatrics, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC; the Blood and Marrow Transplant Program, the Division of Hematology, Oncology and Transplantation, University of Minnesota Cancer Center, Minneapolis, MN; the Adult Bone Marrow and Stem Cell Transplant Program, the Division of Hematology-Oncology, the Department of Medicine, Duke University, Durham, NC; and Universita' degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata, Rome, Italy.

Secondary myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) have been reported after autologous transplantation. It is not known whether the MDS results from the pretransplant conventional-dose chemotherapy or from the high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) used for the transplant procedure. We performed a multicenter, retrospective analysis of morphologically normal pretransplant marrow or stem cell specimens from 12 patients who subsequently developed myelodysplasia after HDC. To determine if the abnormal clone was present before HDC, we used fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to detect the cytogenetic markers observed at the onset of posttransplant MDS. Cryopreserved, pretransplant bone marrow, peripheral blood stem cell specimens, obtained at the time of harvest, or archival smears were used. Standard cytogenetic analysis had been performed pretransplant in four patients, showing a normal karyotype. In 9 of 12 cases, the same cytogenetic abnormality observed at the time of MDS diagnosis was detected by FISH in the pre-HDC specimens. Our findings support the hypothesis that, in many cases of posttransplant MDS, the stem cell damage results from prior conventional-dose chemotherapy and may be unrelated to HDC or the transplantation process itself.
