Purpose Pediatric myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are biologically diverse. The French-
American-British (FAB) classification of adult forms of MDS is not always applicable because
many pediatric patients do not fit into any of the categories. To circumvent the FAB schema
and other flawed formats, the authors developed a practical classification system for
childhood MDS.
