Answer:

Myelodyspasia or Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS syndrome) is a group of associated bone marrow disorders that results in the production of insufficient blood cells. The World Health Organization divides MDS into subtypes based on blood cell type:

  • red blood cells,
  • white blood cells,
  • platelets

Step-by-step explanation:

Myelodyspasia occurs when something that regulates and controlls the production of blood cells become disturbed.

Doctors divide two causes of myelodysplasia: with no known cause - easier to treat, and myelodysplasia caused by chemicals and radiation - occurs in response to cancer treatment, such as chemotherapy and radiation, or in response to chemical exposure. They are often harder to treat.
