&lt;br /&gt;
Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) with single lineage dysplasia (SLD) is a category of MDS characterized by unexplained cytopenia or bi-cytopenia, ≥10% dysplastic cells in one myeloid lineage (red blood cells, white blood cells, or megakaryocytes), &amp;lt;5% of blasts in bone marrow and &amp;lt;1% blasts in peripheral blood, non-Auer rods, &amp;lt;15% ring sideroblasts in bone marrow or &amp;lt;5% if &amp;#039;&amp;#039;SF3B1&amp;#039;&amp;#039; mutation is present &amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite journal|last=Arber|first=Daniel A.|last2=Orazi|first2=Attilio|last3=Hasserjian|first3=Robert|last4=Thiele|first4=Jürgen|last5=Borowitz|first5=Michael J.|last6=Le Beau|first6=Michelle M.|last7=Bloomfield|first7=Clara D.|last8=Cazzola|first8=Mario|last9=Vardiman|first9=James W.|date=2016-05-19|title=The 2016 revision to the World Health Organization classification of myeloid neoplasms and acute leukemia|url=https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27069254|journal=Blood|volume=127|issue=20|pages=2391–2405|doi=10.1182/blood-2016-03-643544|issn=1528-0020|pmid=27069254}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;.
