Inherited disorders of blood production include such disorders as Haemoglobin Disorders, Diamond-Blackfan syndrome, Blackfan-Schwachmann syndrome and congenital diserythropoietic anaemia, and inherited immune deficiencies such as Wiscott-Aldrich Syndrome.
Potential donors with a family history of an inherited blood disorder may carry the genetic abnormality that causes the syndrome, even though they do not show symptoms of the illness. This abnormality may be passed on to the recipient of transplant where it may cause clinical symptoms.

Refer all cases to the medical officer.
Details of the inherited disease should be noted, as well as the underlying mutation, if known.
