The hematopoiesis of patients with del(5q) Myelodysplastic Syndromes is composed of a mixture of cells with and without the deletion. Here, the authors show that del(5q) and non-del(5q) cells share similar transcriptional alterations, with del(5q) cells presenting additional lesions. Moreover, hematological response to lenalidomide is associated with the reversal of some transcriptional lesions in both del(5q) and non-del(5q) cells.
