Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox medical condition (new) Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) is a rare blood disorder, similar to the thalassemias. CDA is one of many types of anemia, characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis, and resulting from a decrease in the number of red blood cells (RBCs) in the body and a less than normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood.[1] CDA may be transmitted by both parents autosomal recessively or dominantly.Шаблон:Cn

Types

Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia has four different subtypes, CDA Type I, CDA Type II, CDA Type III, and CDA Type IV. CDA type II (CDA II) is the most frequent type of congenital dyserythropoietic anemias.

Type Symptoms Bone marrow morphology OMIM Gene Locus
Type I
(CDAN1)
Moderate to severe macrocytic anemia (commonly in neonates as intrauterine growth retardation).[2] Erythroid precursors with incompletely divided erythroid cells held together with thin chromatin bridges.[3] Ia Шаблон:OMIM CDAN1 15q15
Ib Шаблон:OMIM C15ORF41 15q14
Type II
(CDAN2)
Moderate anemia, splenomegaly, and hepatomegaly.[4] Binucleate and rare multinucleate polychromatic erythroblasts.[3] Шаблон:OMIM SEC23B 20p11.2
Type III
(CDAN3)
Mild anemia and retinal degeneration.[4] Giant multinucleated erythroblasts.[3] Шаблон:OMIM KIF23 15q21
Type IV
(CDAN4)
Severe anemia at birth.[5][6] Шаблон:OMIM KLF1 19p13.13-p13.12

Signs and symptoms

The symptoms and signs of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia are consistent with:[1]

Diagnosis

The diagnosis of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia can be done via sequence analysis of the entire coding region, types I,[7] II,[8] III[9] and IV ( is a relatively new form of CDA that had been found, just 4 cases have been reported[6]) according to the genetic testing registry.Шаблон:Citation needed

Treatment

Treatment of individuals with CDA usually consist of frequent blood transfusions, but this can vary depending on the type that the individual has.[10] Patients report going every 2–3 weeks for blood transfusions.Шаблон:Citation needed

In addition, they must undertake chelation therapy to survive;[11] either deferoxamine, deferasirox, or deferiprone to eliminate the excess iron that accumulates.[12] Removal of the spleen[13] and gallbladder[14] are common. Hemoglobin levels can run anywhere between 8.0 g/dl and 11.0 g/dl in untransfused patients, the amount of blood received by the patient is not as important as their baseline pre-transfusion hemoglobin level.[15] This is true for ferritin levels and iron levels in the organs as well, it is important for patients to go regularly for transfusions in order to maximize good health, normal ferritin levels run anywhere between 24 and 336 ng/ml,[16] hematologists generally do not begin chelation therapy until ferritin levels reach at least 1000 ng/ml.[17] It is more important to check iron levels in the organs through MRI scans, however, than to simply get regular blood tests to check ferritin levels, which only show a trend, and do not reflect actual organ iron content.[12]

Gene therapy

Gene therapy, as well as, bone marrow transplant are also possible treatments for the disorder, but each have their own risks at this point in time. Bone marrow transplantation is the more used method between the two, whereas researchers are still trying to definitively establish the results of gene therapy treatment. It generally requires a 10/10 HLA matched donor, however, who is usually a sibling. As most patients do not have this, they must rely on gene therapy research to potentially provide them with an alternative.Шаблон:Medical citation needed

CDA at both clinical and genetic aspects are part of a heterogeneous group of genetic conditions. Gene therapy is still experimental and has largely only been tested in animal models until now. This type of therapy has promise, however, as it allows for the autologous transplantation of the patient's own healthy stem cells rather than requiring an outside donor, thereby bypassing any potential for graft vs. host disease (GVHD).[14][18]

In the United States, the FDA approved clinical trials on Beta thalassemia patients in 2012. The first study, which took place in July 2012, recruited human subjects with thalassemia major,[19]
