Congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia
dyserythropoietic (CDA) is an umbrella term used to denote a group of rare blood disorders which share some characteristics. All have origin, usually inherited from parents; and they are characterised by a partial failure of the bone to produce healthy red blood cells. This in turn leads to anemia which in some cases can be severe.
