Talk:Diamond–Blackfan anemia

Language level
It seems that the style in which the article is written it confusing, not exactly written in layman's terms. I think it would be great if someone with a medical background could go through the article and make sure it is easy to follow. Vikingviolinist 16:46, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Dailymail article
An article on Dailymail.co.uk (Boy with baffling illness so rare it does not have a name is cured by his PARENTS) was published today, regarding a boy with a DBA-like illness that is being treated with amino acid therapy. As the article appeared on Digg, it is likely that folks will be showing up to take a look here. I'm going to include a link to the article in the "Clinical Management and Treatments" section, along with a reference to a peer-reviewed article from the journal Haematologica that provides a second piece of evidence supporting the amino acids.Martian bob (talk) 21:31, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Merge proposal
I propose merging Congenital hypoplastic anemia into Diamond–Blackfan anemia. Every source I can find on Congenital hypoplastic anemia refers to it as a synonym for Diamond–Blackfan anemia. It seems like Congenital hypoplastic anemia is a historic term for Diamond–Blackfan anemia. CursedWithTheAbilityToDoTheMath (talk) 04:57, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Support; the case is well made. I suppose that Congenital hypoplastic anemia was acting almost as a disambiguation page for the various congenital hypoplastic anemias, including also Fanconi anemia and Shwachman–Diamond syndrome but I accept that that doesn't represent the published use. We could add those other in the See also section, listing them as other congenital hypoplastic anemias. Klbrain (talk) 20:26, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Klbrain Do you think Congenital hypoplastic anemia should be merged, turned into a set index article, or turned into a disambiguation page. I'm happy to do either but upon further research it's a bit confusing if it is a direct synonym or more of a category.
 * MeSH lists it here as a parent for Diamond–Blackfan anemia and Fanconi anemia
 * The ICD11 lists it here as its own disorder.
 * The Monarch initiative lists it here as a phenotypic feature

 * Well-spotted. I'd missed the MeSH list, and didn't know of the Monarch initiative. Given these, I think that your suggestion of a set index article is the way to go. The fact that some sources uses the term as a synonym for Diamond–Blackfan anemia can be mentioned there. Klbrain (talk) 10:53, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
