Zusammenfassung

Bisherige Mitteilungen über Patienten mit kongenitaler dyserythropoetischer Anämie betreffen ausnahmslos Individuen kaukasischer Rasse. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird erstmals über ein japanisches Geschwisterpaar berichtet, das die typischen lichtmikroskopischen, elektronenmikroskopischen und funktionalen Veränderungen dieser seltenen hereditären Erkrankung aufwiesen. Die Tatsache, daß die Eltern blutsverwandt waren, stützt die Annahme eines autosomal-recessiven Erbgangs.

Summary

This is the first case of two siblings with congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) type I to be reported from a Japanese family. Both of these cases showed characteristic morphological aberrations of erythroid precursors, ineffective erythropoiesis, and negative acidified serum test. The ultrastructural study of erythroblasts also revealed characteristics quite compatible with CDA type I.
