Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The primary objectives of the study are:
* To evaluate the frequency of the different subtypes of MDS in childhood and adolescence by a standardized diagnostic approach
* To evaluate the frequency of cytogenetic and molecular abnormalities:
Specifically using array-CGH to evaluate the frequency of subtle chromosomal imbalances, i.e. gains and losses of defined chromosomal regions, and amplifications.
Specifically using mFISH to identify unknown chromosomal aberrations, particularly subtle translocations involving new candidate genes, and to better define chromosomal breakpoints.
The secondary objectives of the study are:
* To assess survival for children and adolescents with MDS and JMML
* To evaluate relapse rate, morbidity and mortality in children with MDS and JMML treated by HSCT
