Hi Greg,

My memory must have mixed things up, as I read both AA and MDS articles. The studies on cyclosporine dependency are with reference to SAA with trisomy 8, not MDS with trisomy 8. It seems like trisomy 8 may be an overlap area between the two diseases??? Maybe it indicates the immune component to your disease.

I hope your BMB results shed some insight on the best path to take.
