Mutations of the SBDS gene are present in most patients with Shwachman-Diamond syndrome

TLDR
It is shown that most, but not all, patients classified based on rigorous clinical criteria as having SDS had compound heterozygous mutations of SBDS, suggesting that SDS is a genetically heterogeneous disorder.

Mutations in SBDS are associated with Shwachman–Diamond syndrome

TL;DR: Identification of disease-associated mutations in an uncharacterized gene, SBDS, in the interval of 1.9 cM at 7q11 is reported, suggesting that SDS may be caused by a deficiency in an aspect of RNA metabolism essential for development of the exocrine pancreas, hematopoiesis and chrondrogenesis.

The syndrome of pancreatic insufficiency and bone marrow dysfunction

TL;DR: A new entity characterized by pancreaatic insufficiency and bone marrow hypoplasia is described and should be suspected in infants who fail to gain weight, have abnormal stools, and neutropenia, as well as those children who are thought to have cystic fibrosis diagnosed on the basis of pancreatic insUFFiciency with normal sweat electrolytes.

Shwachman syndrome: phenotypic manifestations of sibling sets and isolated cases in a large patient cohort are similar.

TL;DR: Clinical features among patients with Shwachman syndrome varied between patients and with age, and similarities in phenotype between isolated cases and affected sibling sets support the hypothesis that Shwacman syndrome is a single disease entity.

Haematological abnormalities in Shwachman-Diamond syndrome

TL;DR: Shwachman‐Diamond syndrome is an interesting model of leukaemia development and greater understanding of the clinical spectrum of this rare disorder should produce further insights into its pathobiology.
