Description : Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia-4 is an autosomal dominant inherited red blood
cell disorder characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis and hemolysis resulting
in anemia. Circulating erythroblasts and erythroblasts in the bone marrow show various
morphologic abnormalities. Affected individuals with CDAN4 also have increased levels
of fetal hemoglobin (summary by Arnaud et al., 2010). For a discussion of the genetic
heterogeneity of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia, see CDAN1 (224120).;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the Krupple-like factor 1 gene (KLF1, 600599.0006);
