Identification of a novel splice variant in SEC23B gene in a patient with concomitant presence of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia II and Gilbert’s syndrome

Background: Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia Ⅱ (CDA Ⅱ) is a rare inherited disorder of defective erythropoiesis caused by SEC23B gene mutation. CDA Ⅱ is often misdiagnosed as a more common type of clinically related anemia, or it remains undiagnosed due to phenotypic variability caused by the coexistence of inherited liver diseases, including Gilbert's syndrome (GS) and hereditary hemochromatosis.
