Thierry Leblanc & Marcin Wlodarski
• Are there different laboratory reference ranges available between a healthy and a DBA
patient (e.g. for vitamin d)?
• Recommendations for food supplements or diets (e.g. vitamin d, leucine,..)
• Any new evidence for the influence of epo on hb in dba patients available?
• Dba patients who are not transfusion-dependent: influence of exjade on hematopoiesis (is
hb (temporarily) lower than without exjade?), ferritin and organ iron overload in comparison
to transfusion-dependent patients
• Describing the phenotype(s) of dba patients: is it possible to classify/describe different
phenotypes and to adapt treatment recommendations for each phenotype?
• Covid: is evidence about the course/duration of a covid disease in dba patients available?
Vaccination recommendation?
