Abstract

Congenital dyserythropoietic anaemias (CDAs) are a group of rare haematological disorders characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis and dyserythropoiesis and reduced numbers of red cells, often with an abnormal morphology. Pathogenic defects in CDAN1, C15ORF41, SEC23B, KIF23, KLF1 and GATA1 genes have been identified in CDAs patients. In this study, we described 13 unrelated Chinese CDAs patients and identified 21 mutations, including 5 novel mutations in CDAN1 gene, and 5 novel mutations in SEC23B gene. Additionally, we predicted the molecular consequence of these missense mutations with Polymorphism Phenotyping v2 (Polyphen), Sorting Intolerant From Tolerant (SIFT), MutPred (http://mutpred1.mutdb.org/) and Protein Variation Effect Analyzer (Provean, http://provean.jcvi.org/seq_submit.php) and analyzed the conservation of the mutated amino acid among proteins from several mammalian species.
