- Congenital Dyserythropoietic Anemia (CDA) Gene Panel
The Congenital Dyserythropoietic Anemia (CDA) Gene Panel is a specialized genetic test designed to identify mutations or variations in genes associated with congenital dyserythropoietic anemia. CDA is a group of rare inherited disorders that affect the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. These genetic mutations disrupt the normal process of erythropoiesis, leading to abnormal and ineffective red blood cell production, and often result in chronic anemia.
The CDA Gene Panel typically includes sequencing or analysis of specific genes known to be associated with various types of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia.
The CDA Gene Panel is primarily used for individuals suspected to have congenital dyserythropoietic anemia based on their clinical symptoms, family history, and blood smear findings. Genetic testing can provide a definitive diagnosis, identify the specific subtype of CDA, and help in genetic counseling for affected individuals and their families.
