We report an unusual case of Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA) diagnosed in a 23 year-old male with a novel mutation identified in RPL11. The patient was in his usual state of health when he presented to his local primary care office with profound fatigue and pallor. He was found to have a hemoglobin of 4.6 (normal 13.5–17.7 g/dL) with a MCV of 110 (normal 82–98 fL). He underwent a bone marrow aspirate and biopsy, which revealed erythroid hypoplasia. Prior to being transfused with packed red blood cells, a pre-transfusion sample revealed an elevated eADA at 1.7 (normal 0.33–0.96 EU/g Hgb). The patient was started on erythropoietin and iron without response before being referred to our center at Stanford. We noted that the patient was shorter than his siblings and had an obvious thumb abnormality (triphalangeal thumb)(Fig. 1).A follow-up echocardiogram demonstrated congenital heart defects. He has no other congenital anomalies or dysmorphology. In discussion with the patient and family, they believe he always has been more tired and pale than his siblings. We obtained a CBC from an admission at age 6 months, which showed a hemoglobin of 8.8 and a MCV of 91 (normal for young age 72–88 fL). Initial testing to Ambry Genetics revealed that the patient was heterozygous for a c. 396+ 3ANG variant of unknown significance in the RPL11 gene. No known pathogenic mutations, variants of unknown significance, gross deletions or duplications were detected in the other genes analyzed.
