Haemolytic anaemias due to disorders of nucleotide metabolism – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1788504817

This is a form of anaemia due to haemolysis, the abnormal breakdown of red blood cells (RBCs), either in the blood vessels (intravascular haemolysis) or elsewhere in the human body (extravascular). This diagnosis is due to the biological molecules that form the building blocks of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and serve to carry packets of energy within the cell (ATP).
