Popis | Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a rare congenital red cell aplasia associated with mutations in ribosomal proteins (RP) in 49-71% of cases.1 DBA is a clinically heterogeneous disorder with one-third of patients developing transfusion-acquired iron overload.2 The severity of anemia and transfusion dependency in DBA is comparable to transfusiondependent beta-thalassemia major; however, moderate to severe suppression of erythropoiesis in DBA2 is in contrast to accelerated ineffective erythropoiesis in beta-thalassemia.3,4 The knowledge of systemic iron regulation in DBA is limited. |
