Background Myelodysplastic syndromes are a heterogeneous group of clonal hematopoietic
stem cell disorders characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis. Survivin is a member of the

Abstract
Background
Myelodysplastic syndromes are a heterogeneous group of clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis. Survivin is a member of the inhibitor of apoptosis family and suppresses apoptosis. Survivin also functions as a subunit of the chromosomal passenger complex for regulating mitosis with Aurora-B. Survivin and Aurora-B play an important role in maintaining genome stability. The aim of this study was to determine the role of Survivin and Aurora-B kinase in disease progression and prognosis of myelodysplastic syndromes.
