📋Overview
Diamond-Blackfan Anemia is a congenital pure red cell aplasia that typically presents in infancy or early childhood. This condition is classified as a ribosomopathy, occurring when genetic mutations interfere with ribosome biogenesis and lead to a failure in the bone marrow's ability to produce mature red blood cells.
The condition may also involve various physical congenital anomalies alongside the primary hematological findings. While the syndrome is primarily defined by impaired erythropoiesis, its clinical manifestations and the presence of associated physical features can vary among individuals.
