Overview

Diamond and Blackfan described congenital hypoplastic anemia in 1938. In 1951, responsiveness to corticosteroids was reported. In 1961, Diamond and colleagues presented longitudinal data on 30 patients and noted an association with skeletal abnormalities. In 1997 a region on chromosome 19 was determined to carry a gene mutated in DBA. In 1999, mutations in the ribosomal protein S19 gene (RPS19) were found to be associated with disease in some of the patients. In 2001, it was determined that a second DBA gene lies in a region of chromosome 8. In 2007, Furthermore, mutations in large ribosomal subunit-associated proteins rpl5, rpl11, and rpl35a, have been described. In 2010, 10 additional DBA genes are identified. The Non-RP gene, GATA1, was identified in 2012. Researchers still want to know why steroids often work in DBA, find more mutations, and address some questions about Diamond-Blackfan anemia.

Historical Perspective

  • Diamond and Blackfan described congenital hypoplastic anemia in 1938.[1]
  • In 1951, responsiveness to corticosteroids was reported.
  • In 1961, Diamond and colleagues presented longitudinal data on 30 patients and noted an association with skeletal abnormalities. [2]
  • In 1997 a region on chromosome 19 was determined to carry a gene mutated in DBA. [3][4]
  • In 1999, mutations in the ribosomal protein S19 gene (RPS19) were found to be associated with disease in some of the patients.[5]
  • In 2001, it was determined that a second DBA gene lies in a region of chromosome 8.[6]
  • In 2007, Furthermore mutations in large ribosomal subunit-associated proteins rpl5, rpl11, and rpl35a, have been described. [7]
  • In 2010, 10 additional DBA genes are identified.
  • Non-RP gene, GATA1, was identified in 2012.[8]
  • The largest study to date, "The Genetic Landscape of Diamond-Blackfan Anemia" provides a genetic explanation for nearly 80 percent of patients."[9]
  • Researchers still wants to know why steroids often work in DBA, find more mutations, and address some questions about Diamond-Blackfan anemia.[9]
