Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) or myelodysplasia constitute a heterogeneous group of hematopoietic diseases characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis usually withperipheral bloodcytopenias, dysplastic cell differentiationanda tendency to evolve toacute myeloid leukemia. They are classified invarious typesand the annual incidence is estimated at between four cases per 100,000 individualsin the general population and up to 50 cases per 100,000 with advanced ages. A chromosomal analysis of bone marrow cells at diagnosis identifie schanges related with diagnosis and prognosis, but some genes are also associated to the etiology of myelodysplasia, for presenting mutations and epigenetic changes that may result in alteration in hematopoiesis. The FOXO3 gene, tumor suppressor, isone of the most commonly expressed genesin normal hematopoietic tissue, which makes it a possible candidate for involvement in the pathogenesis of diseases of the bone marrow. However, no studies were found on FOXO3in MDS. The changesin this genecould there for eresultina b normalhe matopoiesis. The aim of this work was to study bone marrow cells from 100 patients diagnosed with anytypeof MDS, to investigate mutations in exon 1 and the methylation pattern of FOXO3 promoter region, and the presence of chromosomal alterations. For molecular analysis, DNA was extracted, gene amplification was achieved bypolymerase chain reaction and direct sequencing of exon 1 was performed, for epigenetic study, the bisulfite conversion of DNA, and subsequently carrying out the MSP -PCR was performed, and cytogenetic analysis was performed on metaphases submitted to GTG banding. Inexon 1 was observed the 159C > Tpolymorphismin 26% patients andin 16% healthy controls, wich not statistically significant (p>0,05)...
