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.
