Diamond-Blackfan anemia

Definition:

Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous congenital erythroid aplasia that develops within the first year of life. Faulty ribosome biogenesis is hypothesized to be the underlying defect, leading to erythroid failure due to accelerated apoptosis in affected erythroid progenitors/precursors.
