Hyper vs hypo cellularity
I have been reading a hematology book. The chapter on MDS states that hyper cellularity is characteristic of MDS and hypo is characteristic for AA.
But I don't think either is a smoking gun. For MDS the aplastic (unusual) cells and genetic information are the important factors.
Also I have never found anyone to state what the normal variability about the age adjusted cellularity is? Every number has a range that defines normal.
Thoughts, others?
