Özet
Advanced diagnostic methods give an advantage for the identification of abnormalities in myeloid malignancies. Various researchers have shown the potential importance of genetic tests before the disease's onset and in remission. Large testing panels prevent false-negative results in myeloid malignancies. However, the critical question is how the results of conventional cytogenetic and molecular cytogenetic techniques can be merged with NGS technologies. In this paper, we drew an algorithm for the evaluation of myeloid malignancies. To evaluate genetic abnormalities, we performed cytogenetics, molecular cytogenetics, and NGS testing in myeloid malignancies. In this study, we analyzed 100 patients admitted to the Medical Genetics Laboratory with different myeloid malignancies. We highlighted the possible diagnostic algorithm for cytogenetically normal cases. We applied NGS 141 gene panel for cytogenetically normal patients, and we detected two or more pathogenic variations in 61 out of 100 patients (61%). NGS's pathogenic variation detection rate varies in disease groups: they were present in 85% of A.M.L. and 23% of M. D.S. Here, we identified 24 novel variations out of total pathogenic variations in myeloid malignancies. A total of 18 novel variations were identified in A.M.L., and 6 novel variations were identified in M.D.S. Despite long turnaround times, conventional techniques are still a golden standard for myeloid malignancies but sometimes cryptic gene fusions or complex abnormalities cannot be easily identified by conventional techniques. In these conditions, advanced technologies like NGS are highly recommended.
