Diamond-Blackfan anemia is characterized by [[anemia]] (low [[red blood cell]] counts) with decreased erythroid [[progenitors]] in the [[bone marrow]].  This usually develops during the [[neonatal]] period.  About 47% of affected individuals also have a variety of [[congenital]] abnormalities, including [[craniofacial]] malformations, thumb or upper limb abnormalities, cardiac defects, [[urogenital]] malformations, and [[cleft palate]].  Low birth weight and generalized growth retardation are sometimes observed.  DBA patients have a modest risk of developing [[leukemia]] and other malignancies.


==Diagnosis==
==[[Diamond-Blackfan anemia overview|Overview]]==


A diagnosis of DBA is made on the basis of anemia, low [[reticulocyte]] (immature red blood cells) counts, and diminished erythroid precursors in bone marrow.  Features that support a diagnosis of DBA include the presence of congenital abnormalities, [[macrocytosis]], elevated [[fetal hemoglobin]], and elevated [[adenosine deaminase]] levels in red blood cells.  Most patients are diagnosed in the first two years of life.  However, some mildly affected individuals only receive attention after a more severely affected family member is identified.  About 20-25% of DBA patients may be identified with a [[genetic test]] for mutations in the [[RPS19]] gene.

The phenotype of DBA patients suggests a [[hematology|hematological]] [[stem cell]] defect specifically affecting the erythroid progenitor population.  This is difficult to reconcile with the known function of the single known DBA gene.  The RPS19 protein is involved in the production of [[ribosomes]].  As such, loss of RPS19 function would be predicted to affect [[translation (genetics)|translation]] and [[protein biosynthesis]] and have a much broader impact.  Disease features may be related to the nature of RPS19 [[mutations]].  The disease is characterized by dominant inheritance, and therefore arises due to a partial loss of RPS19 protein function.  It is possible that erythroid progenitors are acutely sensitized to this decreased function, while most other tissues are unaffected.

==Clinical Management and Treatments==
==[[Diamond-Blackfan anemia risk factors|Risk Factors]]==


[[Corticosteroids]] can be used to treat anemia in DBA.  In a large study of 225 patients, 82% initially responded to this therapy, although many side effects were noted.<ref>{{cite journal | author= Vlachos A, Klein GW, Lipton JM | title= The Diamond Blackfan Anemia Registry: tool for investigating the epidemiology and biology of Diamond-Blackfan anemia. | journal= J. Pediatr. Hematol. Oncol. | year=2001 | pages=377-82 | volume=23 | issue=6  | id=PMID 11563775}}</ref>  Some patients remained responsive to steroids, while [[efficacy]] waned in others.  [[Blood transfusions]] can also be used to treat severe anemia in DBA.  Periods of [[remission]] may occur, during which transfusions and steroid treatments are not required.  [[Bone marrow transplantation]] (BMT) can cure hematological aspects of DBA.  This option may be considered when patients become transfusion-dependent because frequent transfusions can lead to iron overloading and organ damage.  However, data from a large DBA patient registry indicated that [[adverse events]] in transfusion-dependent patients were more frequently caused by BMTs than iron overloading.
