'''Diamond-Blackfan anemia''' (DBA) is a [[congenital]] [[erythroid]] [[aplasia]] that usually presents in [[infancy]].The classic form is characterized by a profound normochromic and usually macrocytic anemia with normal leukocytes and platelets. About half of the affected patients have congenital malformations, and growth retardation in 30% of affected individuals. The symptoms and physical findings associated with DBA vary greatly from person to person.The hematologic complications occur in 90% of affected individuals during the first year of life.<ref name="pmid20301295">{{cite journal |vauthors=Adam MP, Ardinger HH, Pagon RA, Wallace SE, Bean LJH, Stephens K, Amemiya A |title= |journal= |volume= |issue= |pages= |date= |pmid=20301295 |doi= |url=}}</ref>

Researchers found DBA mutations reduce the actual numbers of ribosomes in blood precursor cells. Without enough ribosomes, the precursors can’t produce enough GATA1, so mature red cells never form.

Classic DBA:
*The symptomatic onset of Diamond black-fan anemia becomes apparent during the first year of life.
*Symptoms of anemia include fatigue, weakness, and an abnormally pale appearance (pallor).
*Approximately half of DBA cases have physical abnormalities.
*The severity of Diamond-Blackfan anemia may vary, even within the same family. individuals with "non-classical" Diamond-Blackfan anemia with less severe symptoms have been identified. For example, some affected individuals have mild anemia beginning later in childhood or in adulthood, while others have some of the physical features but no bone marrow problems.
Non-classic DBA:
*presents with mild or absent anemia with only subtle indications of erythroid abnormalities such as macrocytosis, elevated eADA, and/or elevated HbF concentration
*Onset later in life
*Congenital anomalies or short stature consistent with DBA and minimal or no evidence of abnormal

==Complications==
*Common complications of Diamond black-fan include:
*Physical abnormalities
*higher-than-average chance of developing myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute myeloid leukemia (AML) bone cancer (osteosarcoma), colon cancer
*Eye problems such as cataracts, glaucoma, or strabismus
*kidney abnormalities
*hypospadias
==Prognosis==
*Prognosis is relatively good, but complications related to treatment may alter the quality of life of the affected individuals.

*[[Red cell transfusions]]
**Transfusions are usually the mainstay of treatment for the first year of life for the anemia of DBA. Also, Red blood transfusions are used for those patients who do not respond to corticosteroid treatment
*[[Corticosteroid]] therapy
**after the first year patients are started on a course of treatment with corticosteroids and it remains the mainstay of treatment after the original report of their efficacy.

*[[Bone marrow transplantation]] (BMT)
**It is the only curative treatment for the anemia of DBA. This option may be considered when patients become transfusion-dependent because frequent transfusions can lead to iron overloading and organ damage. This can be done using an unaffected sibling or an unrelated donor. 
*Periods of [[remission]] may occur, during which transfusions and steroid treatments are not required.
*Some patients who have such mild signs and symptoms do not require treatment.
*Cancer treatment
*[[Prevention of secondary complications]]
*** Iron chelation
**** usually started after ten to 12 transfusions (170-200 mL/kg of packed red blood cells), when serum ferritin concentration reaches 1,000-1,500 µg/L, or when the hepatic iron concentration reaches 6-7 mg/g of dry weight liver tissue
***Deferasirox is recommended in individuals age two years or older.
***Desferrioxamine
*Evaluation of Relatives at Risk
**Molecular genetic testing if the pathogenic variant in the family is known
**Consideration of other testing (e.g., mean corpuscular volume, eADA, and/or fetal hemoglobin concentration) if the pathogenic variant in the family is not known – especially of relatives being considered as bone marrow donors

*Investigations of several other agents showed these drugs appear to be largely ineffective and there is currently no evidence that any of these has a major role in the management of DBA <ref name="pmid18671700">{{cite journal |vauthors=Vlachos A, Ball S, Dahl N, Alter BP, Sheth S, Ramenghi U, Meerpohl J, Karlsson S, Liu JM, Leblanc T, Paley C, Kang EM, Leder EJ, Atsidaftos E, Shimamura A, Bessler M, Glader B, Lipton JM |title=Diagnosing and treating Diamond Blackfan anaemia: results of an international clinical consensus conference |journal=Br.
