Overview
Patients with classic DBA have symptoms of anemia include fatigue, weakness, and an abnormally pale appearance (pallor). The symptomatic onset of Diamond-Blackfan 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. Patients with 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.
Diagnosis
- Diagnosing DBA is usually hard due to its partial phenotypes and the wide inconsistency of clinical expressions. the International Clinical Consensus Conference stated diagnostic and supporting criteria for the diagnosis of DBA.[1][2]
- Diagnostic criteria
- Normochromic, often macrocytic anemia developing in the first year of life
- Profound reticulocytopenia
- Normocellular bone marrow with selective deficiency of erythroid precursors
- Normal or slightly reduced leukocyte count
- Normal or slightly increased platelet count
- Major supporting criteria
- Gene mutation described in ‘‘classical’’ DBA
- Positive family history
- Minor supporting criteria
- Elevated erythrocyte adenosine deaminase activity
- Congenital anomalies described in ‘‘classical’’ DBA
- Elevated HbF
- No evidence of another inherited bone marrow failure syndrome
| Classical DBA
All diagnostic criteria are met
3 Diagnostic criteria + positive family history OR 2 Diagnostic criteria + 3 minor criteria OR 3 Minor criteria + positive family history
DBA associated gene mutation without sufficient diagnostic criteria |
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[3]
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:
- 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[4]
