Introduction |What is Congenital Dyserythropoietic
Anemia (CDA)?

• Group of heterogeneous hereditary disorders of hematopoiesis.

• Defective production of red blood cells.

• Refractory anemia of variable severity.

• Several forms have been characterized:

Type I Type II Type III Type IV XLDTA

Discussion | Achievements

(1) CoDysAn telemedicine tool is a simple solution and implementation of

the diagnostic algorithm.

(2) It proves useful for having a preliminary diagnostic

(3) The content of the webpage serves as an informative and training

resource both for the general public and specialists.

22
Discussion | Future improvements

(1) Creation of the CoDysAn database to collect data for further research
on CDA.

(2) Include new ranges for the parameter thresholds, taking into
consideration more precise age groups if this proves practical for the
precision of the diagnostic tool. Hemoglobin levels vary at different
intensity depending on age.

(3) Make the webpage available in more languages: Italian, French,

Portuguese, etc.

(4) Create new content and provide new and updated information
regarding the disease and the research project. This will help improve
scientific communication on this field.
