Shwachman Diamond Syndrome Registry and Study (SDS Registry)
Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a genetic condition characterized by bone marrow failure, medical co-morbidities, and leukemia predisposition. SDS-Like patients share clinical features with SDS but lack mutations in known SDS genes. Since SDS/SDS-Like syndromes are rare diseases, data are sparse regarding the clinical features, natural history, clinical outcomes with current management, and treatment. For this reason, the SDS Registry was formed to collect clinical data from medical records and to bank biological samples with the goal of understanding SDS/SDS-Like diseases to develop better treatments and improve the health of patients with these conditions.
• Biallelic mutations in SBDS, or pathogenic mutations in DNAJC21, EFL1, or SRP54 OR
• Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome defined clinically OR
• Clinically suspected Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome OR
• Phenotypic features suggestive of SDS OR
• Parents, siblings, and other blood relatives of any age, living and deceased, of patients with SDS or SDS-Like conditions are eligible for this study
