DNA samples from 76 patients with the myelodysplastic syndromes, including 10 cases with a partial deletion of the long arm of chromosome 5 (5q‐), were examined for structural rearrangements of the granulocyte/macrophage colony‐stimulating factor (GM‐CSF) gene. No abnormalities were detected, indicating that structural aberrations of this gene are not a feature of the myelodysplastic syndromes.
