Disease characteristics

Excerpted from the GeneReview: Congenital Dyserythropoietic Anemia Type I
Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type I (CDA I) is characterized by moderate-to-severe macrocytic anemia presenting occasionally in utero as severe anemia associated with hydrops fetalis but more commonly in neonates as hepatomegaly, early jaundice, and intrauterine growth restriction. Some individuals present in childhood or adulthood. After the neonatal period, most affected individuals have lifelong moderate anemia, usually accompanied by jaundice and splenomegaly. Secondary hemochromatosis develops with age as a result of increased iron absorption even in those who are not transfused. Distal limb anomalies occur in 4%-14% of affected individuals. [from GeneReviews]

Additional description

From OMIM
Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type I is an autosomal recessive hematologic disorder characterized by congenital macrocytic anemia secondary to ineffective erythropoiesis. The bone marrow shows erythroid hyperplasia, with nuclear abnormalities in most erythroblasts. Up to 3% of erythroblasts have interchromatin bridges, and erythroblast nuclei are abnormally electron dense with spongy ('Swiss cheese-like') heterochromatin on electron microscopy. Some reported patients have distal digital abnormalities (summary by Ahmed et al., 2006). For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of CDA, see CDAN1A (224120).  http://www.omim.org/entry/615631

Clinical features

From HPO
Syndactyly
MedGen UID:
52619
Concept ID:
C0039075
Congenital Abnormality
Webbing or fusion of the fingers or toes, involving soft parts only or including bone structure. Bony fusions are referred to as "bony" syndactyly if the fusion occurs in a radio-ulnar axis. Fusions of bones of the fingers or toes in a proximo-distal axis are referred to as "symphalangism".
Short stature
MedGen UID:
87607
Concept ID:
C0349588
Finding
A height below that which is expected according to age and gender norms. Although there is no universally accepted definition of short stature, many refer to "short stature" as height more than 2 standard deviations below the mean for age and gender (or below the 3rd percentile for age and gender dependent norms).
Growth delay
MedGen UID:
99124
Concept ID:
C0456070
Pathologic Function
A deficiency or slowing down of growth pre- and postnatally.
Hepatomegaly
MedGen UID:
42428
Concept ID:
C0019209
Finding
Abnormally increased size of the liver.
Jaundice
MedGen UID:
43987
Concept ID:
C0022346
Sign or Symptom
Yellow pigmentation of the skin due to bilirubin, which in turn is the result of increased bilirubin concentration in the bloodstream.
Anemia
MedGen UID:
1526
Concept ID:
C0002871
Disease or Syndrome
A reduction in erythrocytes volume or hemoglobin concentration.
Erythroid hyperplasia
MedGen UID:
4536
Concept ID:
C0014800
Disease or Syndrome
Increased count of erythroid precursor cells, that is, erythroid lineage cells in the bone marrow.
Reticulocytosis
MedGen UID:
60089
Concept ID:
C0206160
Finding
An elevation in the number of reticulocytes (immature erythrocytes) in the peripheral blood circulation.
Anisocytosis
MedGen UID:
66371
Concept ID:
C0221278
Finding
Abnormally increased variability in the size of erythrocytes.
Poikilocytosis
MedGen UID:
67451
Concept ID:
C0221281
Finding
The presence of abnormally shaped erythrocytes.
Anemia of inadequate production
MedGen UID:
95937
Concept ID:
C0392708
Pathologic Function
A kind of anemia characterized by inadequate production of erythrocytes.
Multinucleated erythroblast
MedGen UID:
412762
Concept ID:
C2749670
Finding
Erythroblasts with multiple nuclei. Erythroblasts are nucleated precrusor cells of erythrocytes that are localized to the bone marrow. Normally, erythroblasts have a single nucleus. The abnormal finding of erythrocytes with two or more nuclei may be related to defects in cytokinesis.
Splenomegaly
MedGen UID:
52469
Concept ID:
C0038002
Finding
Abnormal increased size of the spleen.
Pallor
MedGen UID:
10547
Concept ID:
C0030232
Finding
Abnormally pale skin.
Small nail
MedGen UID:
537942
Concept ID:
C0263523
Finding
A nail that is diminished in length and width, i.e., underdeveloped nail.
