disorder that is usually diagnosed only after a long period of suffering. Typically, the parents are healthy and are only carriers of the gene.\n\nIt is characterized by mutations in the SBDS and SRP54 genes. These mutations affect the normal development of various tissues and organs in the body.\n\nThe disease can lead to various health problems; the main features are hematological abnormalities such as neutropenia (a reduced number of certain white blood cells), pancreatic insufficiency (inadequate pancreatic function), elevated liver enzymes, skeletal abnormalities, and growth retardation. There is a strong predisposition to leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or complete bone marrow failure. The disease can range from mild to severe.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-8 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-flex-column fusion-column-inner-bg-wrapper container-full-height\" style=\"--awb-padding-top:50px;--awb-padding-right:50px;--awb-padding-bottom:50px;--awb-padding-left:50px;--awb-inner-bg-image:linear-gradient(180deg, rgba(0,0,0,0.5) 0%,rgba(0,0,0,0.75) 100%),url(https:\/\/sdsdeutschland.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/e2785261-e5a3-4bd9-a6d3-7eea213067fe.jpg);;--awb-inner-bg-position:center center;--awb-inner-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:33.333333333333%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:0px;--awb-margin-bottom-large:0px;--awb-spacing-left-large:0px;--awb-width-medium:33.333333333333%;--awb-order-medium:0;--awb-spacing-right-medium:0px;--awb-spacing-left-medium:0px;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-order-small:0;--awb-spacing-right-small:0px;--awb-spacing-left-small:0px;\" data-scroll-devices=\"small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility\"><span class=\"fusion-column-inner-bg hover-type-zoomin\"><a class=\"fusion-column-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/sdsdeutschland.de\/en\/donation\/\"><span class=\"fusion-column-inner-bg-image\"><\/span><\/a><\/span><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column fusion-column-has-bg-image\" data-bg-url=\"https:\/\/sdsdeutschland.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/e2785261-e5a3-4bd9-a6d3-7eea213067fe.jpg\"><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-text fusion-title-size-one\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color1);\"><h1 class=\"fusion-title-heading title-heading-left\" style=\"margin:0;\">Diagnosis and treatment<\/h1><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\" style=\"--awb-text-color:var(--awb-color1);\"><p>The diagnosis is often made through a combination of blood tests, imaging procedures, and genetic tests.<\/p>\n<p>Common symptoms include chronic diarrhea and digestive problems (due to a lack of digestive enzymes in the pancreas), and recurrent infections due to a weakened immune system.
