Overview
Classic DBA: Symptoms of anemia include fatigue, weakness, and an abnormally pale appearance (pallor). The symptomatic onset of Diamond black-fan anemia becomes apparent during the first year of life Approximately half of DBA cases have Congenital malformations, in particular craniofacial, upper-limb, heart, and genitourinary malformations:(observed in ~30%-50%): Microcephaly low frontal hairline Wide-set eyes (hypertelorism) Droopy eyelids (ptosis) Broad, flat bridge of the nose Small, low-set ears Small lower jaw (micrognathia) Cleft palate Cleft lip Short, webbed neck Smaller and higher shoulder blades than usual Malformed or absent thumbs All diagnostic criteria are met. Non-classic DBA: presents with mild or absent anemia with only subtle indications of erythroid abnormalities such as macrocytosis, elevated ADA, and/or elevated HbF concentration Have mild anemia beginning later in childhood or in adulthood, while others have some of the physical features but no bone marrow problems. Minimal or no evidence of congenital anomalies or short stature. Symptoms of anemia include pallor, irritability, failure to thrive, sleepiness, poor appetite, and weakness.Growth retardation (in about 30% ),Congenital malformations, in particular craniofacial, upper-limb, heart, and genitourinary malformations:(~30%-50%).The severity of Diamond-Blackfan anemia may vary, even within the same family.
Diamond-Blackfan anemia history and symptoms
History The symptomatic onset of Diamond black-fan anemia becomes apparent during the first year of life. A positive family history of DBA is suggestive of DBA. The most common symptoms of DBA include
- Symptoms of anemia include pallor, irritability, failure to thrive, sleepiness, poor appetite, and weakness[1]
Symptoms
- Symptoms of anemia (pallor, irritability, fatigue, weakness.
- Growth retardation (in about 30% )
- Congenital malformations, in particular craniofacial, upper-limb, heart, and genitourinary malformations:(~30%-50%):
The severity of Diamond-Blackfan anemia may vary, even within the same family.
Classic DBA: The symptomatic onset of Diamond black-fan anemia becomes apparent during the first year of life
- Symptoms of anemia include fatigue, weakness, and an abnormally pale appearance (pallor).
- Approximately half of DBA cases have Congenital malformations, in particular craniofacial, upper-limb, heart, and genitourinary malformations:(observed in ~30%-50%):
- Microcephaly
- low frontal hairline
- Wide-set eyes (hypertelorism)
- Droopy eyelids (ptosis)
- Broad, flat bridge of the nose
- Small, low-set ears
- Small lower jaw (micrognathia)
- Cleft palate
- Cleft lip
- Short, webbed neck
- Smaller and higher shoulder blades than usual
- Malformed or absent thumbs
- All diagnostic criteria are met.
- Non-classic DBA:
- presents with mild or absent anemia with only subtle indications of erythroid abnormalities such as macrocytosis, elevated ADA, and/or elevated HbF concentration
Have mild anemia beginning later in childhood or in adulthood, while others have some of the physical features but no bone marrow problems. Minimal or no evidence of congenital anomalies or short stature.
