Research Abstract

Responsible genes for Diamond Blackfan anemia are found in 50-70% of the patients, but the precise mechanism of the specific defect on erythroid differentiation is largely unknown. This study focused on the relationship between the responsible genes and cellular metabolism especially the activity of autophagy which is one of the balk degradation processes of cellular materials. The one of the responsible genes was found to be associated with the activation of autophagy in in vitro culture model system.
