The SRP72 gene (*602122) has been identified in the OMIM database as a causative gene for inherited bone marrow failure syndrome 1 (IBMFS1, #614675), an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by early-onset aplastic anemia (AA) or pancytopenia in some patients, and adult-onset myelodysplasia in others. Here, SRP72 is linked to idiopathic aplastic anemia.
