Chromosome 7 deletion
Hello everyone! I have just returned from Indianapolis and want to thank the Foundation for giving us great information at the conference and this tool for more specific questions. I am very new to all of this.
My husband (61 and generally in excellent health) was diagnosed with MDS last October (2008). He has only refractory anemia but with long arm deletion of chromosome 7. His general numbers are good, but declining slowly. Can anyone tell me the difference between monosomy 7 and long arm deletion of 7 (7q- I think) and what relevance they have for his diagnosis? Thank you.
