The congenital dyserythropoietic anemias are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by anemia and ineffective erythropoiesis. Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type I (CDA1) can present in utero with hydrops fetalis, but more often it presents in childhood or adulthood with moderate macrocytic anemia, jaundice, and progressive iron-overload. CDA1 is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, with biallelic pathogenic variants in CDAN1 or C15orf41. This case report documents a severe fetal presentation of CDA1 where we identified two novel compound heterozygous mutations in CDAN1 and describes the associated pathologic findings and levels of iron-regulatory proteins hepcidin, erythroferrone, and GDF15.

Ineffective erythropoiesis (IE) is defined as the abnormal differentiation and excessive destruction of erythroblasts in the marrow, accompanied by an expanded progenitor compartment and relative reduction in the production of reticulocytes. It is a defining feature of many types of anemia, including beta-thalassemia. GATA1 is an essential transcription factor for erythroid differentiation, known to be implicated in hematological conditions presenting with IE, including beta-thalassemia and congenital dyserythropoietic anemia.

Article Synopsis
- - Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) is a rare X-linked lysosomal disorder affecting lipid storage, while congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) Type II is an autosomal recessive blood condition related to ineffective red blood cell production.
- - The co-occurrence of AFD and CDA Type II is extremely rare and has never been documented before, making this case particularly significant.
- - Early screening and genetic counseling are vital for families, especially for children presenting unusual symptoms related to these distinct genetic disorders.

Article Synopsis
- - Systemic autoinflammatory diseases (SAIDs) result from an overactive innate immune system, leading to widespread inflammation and are caused by various genetic defects that complicate diagnosis.
- - Despite advancements in genetic testing, around 40% of SAIDs patients still do not have a clear genetic diagnosis, and the disorders are grouped based on their unique pathophysiological features including inflammasomopathies and relopathies.
- - Targeted treatments are crucial, utilizing agents like JAK inhibitors and IL-1 blockers, to manage the distinct clinical presentations and inflammation associated with these complex diseases.

Codanin-1 (CDAN1) is an essential and ubiquitous protein named after congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type I (CDA-I), an autosomal recessive disease that manifests from mutations in the or (CDAN1 interacting nuclease 1) gene. CDAN1 interacts with CDIN1 and the paralogous histone H3-H4 chaperones ASF1A (Anti-Silencing Function 1A) and ASF1B, but its function remains unclear. Here, we biochemically and structurally analyze CDAN1 complexes.
