You have a specific genetic mutation that causes Shwachman-Diamond syndrome.
Your pancreatic isoamylase levels (for ages 3 and up) or fecal elastase levels are too low.
You have Diamond Blackfan Anemia.
You have low red blood cell count, large red blood cells, low platelet count without any clear cause or low cell count in your bone marrow.
You have a specific genetic mutation that causes Diamond Blackfan anemia.
You have a medical history where there were not enough red blood cells in your bone marrow, even though the bone marrow had normal overall cell count.
You have a bone marrow disorder that can be treated with a bone marrow transplant from a donor.
You must be at least 1 year old but younger than 50 years old to participate in the study.
You have severe anemia (low red blood cell count) or severe thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) and may require frequent blood transfusions. Your eligibility will be reviewed by a committee if you have additional medical conditions or infections.
