Hepcidin levels in Diamond-Blackfan anemia reflect erythropoietic activity and transfusion dependency

Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a rare congenital red cell aplasia associated with mutations in ribosomal proteins (RP) in 49–71% of cases.[1][1] DBA is a clinically heterogeneous disorder with one-third of patients developing transfusion-acquired iron overload.[2][2] The severity of anemia and
