A number sign (#) is used with this entry because of evidence that Diamond-Blackfan anemia-13 (DBA13) is caused by heterozygous mutation in the RPS29 gene (603633) on chromosome 14q.
For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of Diamond-Blackfan anemia, see DBA1 (105650).
Mirabello et al. (2014) reported a 2-generation family in which 5 individuals developed Diamond-Blackfan anemia between 3 months and 9 years of age. The severity was variable: 4 patients responded to steroids and were in remission as adults, whereas the disorder was refractory to steroids in 1 patient, who underwent bone marrow transplant. None of the patients had dysmorphic features, and 1 patient who was a smoker developed lung cancer at age 56 VSports在线直播. Laboratory studies showed increased erythrocyte adenosine deaminase in most patients and in 1 asymptomatic carrier. A 25-year-old man in an unrelated family presented with DBA at age 2 years. The disorder was responsive to steroid treatment, and he was in remission from age 4 years. He did not have dysmorphic features. An asymptomatic half-sib had increased erythrocyte adenosine deaminase. Both families had several members with cancer. .
The transmission pattern of DBA13 in the families reported by Mirabello et al. (2014) was consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance and incomplete penetrance V体育2025版. .
In affected members of 2 unrelated families with Diamond-Blackfan anemia, Mirabello et al. (2014) identified heterozygous missense mutations in the RPS29 gene (603633. 0001 and 603633. 0002) VSports. The mutations, which were found by whole-exome sequencing, segregated with the disorder in the families; however, both families showed evidence of incomplete penetrance. Functional studies showed that the mutations caused haploinsufficiency of RPS29. .
