Chromosome 5q deletion syndrome is an acquired, hematological disorder characterized by loss of part of the long arm of human chromosome 5 in bone marrow myelocyte cells. This chromosome abnormality is most commonly associated with the myelodysplastic syndrome.
It should not be confused with "partial trisomy 5q", though both conditions have been observed in the same family. This should not be confused with the germ line cri du chat syndrome which is a deletion of the short arm of the 5th chromosome.
