Abstract

Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is a rare inherited bone marrow failure syndrome, characterised by neutropenia, exocrine pancreatic dysfunction and often skeletal abnormalities. To date, and to our knowledge, we report a novel genetic mutation in SDS that, we believe, is associated with minimal consequence,and report the fertility and pregnancy in this individual.
