It has taken nearly 40 years since the identification of the disease for researchers to trace its cause back to a faulty gene. An international team of a dozen scientists, including those from Ohio State University, reported their discovery in the latest issue of the journal Nature Genetics Called megaloblastic anemia 1, or Imerslund-Grasbeck syndrome after the two researchers who first described it, the defects prevent the normal absorption of vitamin B-12. If left untreated, the disease can be fatal. While serious, the syndrome is exceedingly rare only one person in a million may develop this disease. The disease has also been identified in patients from Israel, Turkey, Kuwait and the United States as well.

If both parents carry a defect (mutation) in the same FA gene, each of their children has a 25% chance of inheriting the defective gene from both parents. When this happens, the child will have FA. Fanconi anemia is an inherited type of anemia that leads to bone marrow failure. Though considered primarily a blood disease, FA may affect all systems of the body. It is a complex and chronic disorder that is psychologically demanding. FA is also a cancer-prone disease, affecting patients decades earlier than the general population. resources for families researchers/clinicians donate of note New grant opportunity through NIH Therapeutics for Rare and Neglected Diseases closes Dec. 6 learn more... 22nd Annual Fanconi Anemia Research Fund Scientific Symposium Overview learn more...

"Kendall, what are you most afraid of about having a bone marrow transplant?" ..."Losing my hair." For Kendall, losing her hair was more than a physical loss. It meant losing a part of her identity. Hair is perhaps our most defining physical feature. When asked to describe someone, one of the first characteristics mentioned is their hair. What color is it? Is it straight, curly, wavy, long, or short? Kendall knew the loss of her hair was inevitable, and so she learned to knit, and made hats for herself. She loved the colors, softness, and creativity in the hats that she knitted and that others knitted for her. Our sister, Kendall Atkinson, tragically died following a bone marrow transplant for Fanconi Anemia on March 14, 2004 at the age of 20.

Sickle Cell Anemia Megaloblastic (Pernicious) Anemia What is megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia? Megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia is a rare disorder in which the body does not absorb enough vitamin B12 from the digestive tract, resulting in an inadequate amount of red blood cells (RBCs) produced. What causes megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia? Megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia is more common in individuals of northern European descent. Megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia results from a lack of intrinsic factor in gastric secretions (a substance needed to absorb vitamin B12 from the gastrointestinal tract). Vitamin B12 deficiency results. The inability to make intrinsic factor may be the result of chronic gastritis, or the result of a gastrectomy (removal of all or part of the stomach). Megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia may also be associated with type 1 diabetes, thyroid disease, and a family history of the disease. What are the symptoms of megaloblastic (pernicious) anemia?

Contact Us Search MedlinePlus Health Topics ESPAÑOL Pernicious anemia Pernicious anemia is a decrease in red blood cells that occurs when the body cannot properly absorb vitamin B12 from the gastrointestinal tract. Vitamin B12 is necessary for the proper development of red blood cells. Pernicious anemia is a type of megaloblastic anemia See also: Anemia Causes The body needs vitamin B12 to make red blood cells. To provide vitamin B12 to your blood cells, you need to eat enough foods containing vitamin B12, such as meat, poultry, shellfish, eggs, and dairy products. To absorb vitamin B12, your body uses a special protein called intrinsic factor, which is released by cells in the stomach. The combination of vitamin B12 bound to intrinsic factor is absorbed in the last part of the small intestine. When the stomach does not make enough intrinsic factor, the intestine cannot properly absorb vitamin B12. Very rarely, infants and children are born without the ability to produce enough intrinsic factor, or the ability to absorb the combination of intrinsic factor and vitamin B12 in the small intestine. Pernicious anemia that occurs at birth (congenital) is inherited. You need the defective gene from each parent to get it.

Contact Us Search MedlinePlus Health Topics ESPAÑOL Hemolytic anemia Hemolytic anemia is a condition in which there are not enough red blood cells in the blood, due to the premature destruction of red blood cells. There are a number of specific types of hemolytic anemia, which are described individually. Causes Hemolytic anemia occurs when the bone marrow is unable to increase production to make up for the premature destruction of red blood cells. If the bone marrow is able to keep up with the early destruction, anemia does not occur (this is sometimes called compensated hemolysis). There are many types of hemolytic anemia, which are classified by the reason for the premature destruction of red blood cells. The defect may be in the red blood cell itself ( intrinsic factors ), or outside the red blood cell (extrinsic factors). Intrinsic factors are often present at birth (hereditary). They include: Abnormalities in the proteins that build normal red blood cells Differences in the protein inside a red blood cell that carries oxygen (hemoglobin) Extrinsic factors include: Abnormal immune system responses Blood clots in small blood vessels Certain infections Side effects from medications Types of hemolytic anemia include: Hemoglobin SC disease (similar in symptoms to sickle-cell anemia) Hemolytic anemia due to G6PD deficiency Hereditary elliptocytosis Hereditary ovalocytosis Hereditary spherocytosis ...

These conditions affect haemoglobin - the substance in our blood that carries oxygen around our body. Some conditions are more serious than others. The most serious forms are called beta thalassaemia major and alpha thalassaemia major and although it is possible to live with treatment for beta thalassaemia major, alpha thalassaemia major is not compatible with life. The two other most common forms of thalassaemia are beta thalassaemia intermediate which usually has less serious effects and a mild form of alpha thalassaemia, called Hb H Disease. T hese inherited disorders of haemoglobin (Haemoglobinopathies) are so common in the carrier form and so lethal in the disease form that an explanation for their extraordinarily high frequency is required.

Berloni Foundation against thalassemia PREFACE THE CAMPAIGN FOR THE COLLECTION OF FOUNDS THE BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION CENTER OF PESARO CONTRIBUTIONS ... PUBLIC RELATION PREFACE Those of us who live and work in Pesaro, have over the years come to recognise and penetrate the multiple aspects which have been able to make this, our town, highly competitive from an economical, cultural- and touristic viewpoint. In spite of this, as often happens, there are some aspects which are known only to a limited part of population; this was just the case, years ago, of the Bone Marrow Transplantation Center run by Professor Guido Lucarelli. Although the Center was well-known internationally in the field of science - thanks to such positive results obtained from its longstanding contribution to transplantation - we felt the need in us to bring this reality to the public's attention and to endeavour to support and uphold the Center. When the Berloni Foundation was set up in 1985, our intention was to create a structure which would act as a valid point of reference in fight against Thalassemia. Prevalent amongst our aims was that of promoting scientific studies and research in the hope that one day, perhaps in the near future, a new and radical cure could be discovered to treat the disease. The commitments that we have undertaken in this venture, this bet on the future, has another motivation based on sentiment: the faith that we wish to instill in the heart of the people, our interlocutories of today and tomorrow ...
