    This effectively ruled out ITP and we considered a diagnosis of 5q-syndrome, which is characterized by del(5q), macrocytic anemia, and normal or elevated platelet count [ 4 ]. [synapse.koreamed.org]

    When the 5q- is the sole change and it is associated with hypolobated megakaryocytes in the BM, with macrocytic anemia, with normal or increased platelet count then the patient should be diagnosed as having the "5q- syndrome". [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]

    The deletion 5q syndrome is a unique form of myelodysplastic syndrome, occurring primarily in women in whom macrocytic anemia and thrombocytosis are typically present. Anemia in deletion 5q syndrome appears to be responsive to lenalidomide. [merckmanuals.com]
