A combination of structural, biochemical, and genetic studies in model organisms was used to infer a cellular role for the human protein (SBDS) responsible for Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond syndrome. The crystal structure of the SBDS homologue in Archaeoglobus fulgidus, AF0491, revealed a three domain protein. The N-terminal domain, which harbors the majority of disease-linked mutations, has a novel three-dimensional fold. The central domain has the common winged helix-turn-helix motif, and the C-terminal domain shares structural homology with known RNA-binding domains. Proteomic analysis of the SBDS sequence homologue in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, YLR022C, revealed an association with over 20 proteins involved in ribosome biosynthesis. NMR structural genomics revealed another yeast protein, YHR087W, to be a structural homologue of the AF0491 N-terminal domain. Sequence analysis confirmed them as distant sequence homologues, therefore related by divergent evolution. Synthetic genetic array analysis of YHR087W revealed genetic interactions with proteins involved in RNA and rRNA processing including Mdm20/Nat3, Nsr1, and Npl3. Our observations, taken together with previous reports, support the conclusion that SBDS and its homologues play a role in RNA metabolism.

The issue of a possible association between Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome and diabetes has been debated for many years. This review updates the Italian Shwachman-Diamond registry, confirming our previous findings that suggest that these patients might be at higher risk of developing diabetes, particularly type 1. These data are of relevance in the clinical follow-up of patients in everyday life, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and timely intervention.

Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a rare inherited bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by the triad of exocrine pancreatic dysfunction, cytopenia, and skeletal abnormalities. We report a 5-month-old boy with SDS who presented with generalized ichthyosis in the neonatal period that evolved into more eczematous skin eruptions, accompanied by severe failure to thrive. This report highlights the importance of including SDS as a differential diagnosis in patients who present with early ichthyosis, failure-to-thrive, gastrointestinal symptoms and cytopenia.

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have emerged as powerful tools for in vitro modeling of bone marrow failure (BMF) syndromes and hereditary conditions predisposing to myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This review synthesizes recent advances in iPSC-based disease modeling for various inherited BMF/MDS disorders, including Fanconi anemia, dyskeratosis congenita, Diamond Blackfan anemia syndrome, Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, and severe congenital neutropenia as well as GATA2, RUNX1, ETV6, ANKRD26, SAMD9, SAMD9L, and ADH5/ALDH2 syndromes. Although the majority of these iPSC lines are derived from patient cells, some are generated by introducing patient-specific mutations into healthy iPSC backgrounds, offering complementary approaches to disease modeling.

Hematologic abnormalities are the most common symptoms of Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS). The causative gene for SDS is the Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond syndrome (SBDS) gene; however, the function of SBDS and pathogenesis of each condition in SDS are largely unknown. SBDS is known to be localized at mitotic spindles and stabilizes microtubules.
