Congenital megaloblastic anaemias, vitamin B12- and folate-independent – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/968262607

A disease caused by determinants other than vitamin B12 and folate in the antenatal period. This disease is characterised by low levels of red blood cells resulting from inhibition of DNA synthesis during red blood cell production. This disease may present with pallor, fatigue, or shortness of breath. Confirmation is by identification of low levels of red blood cells in a blood sample.
