About Us
DBAS UK is the UK’s Diamond Blackfan Anaemia Syndrome Charity. We’re a registered charity run by volunteers, dedicated to providing a support network to families facing Diamond Blackfan Anaemia Syndrome (DBAS), a rare genetic disorder.
We bring families together to share experiences, offer hope, and fund research for a better future.
Through our website, information resources, and annual conference, we provide vital support and connect you with the DBAS community in the UK.
Resources
Living with DBAS can feel isolating, but we are here to support.
We offer a library of resources, including information leaflets, a support line, and access to the latest medical research. Our website serves as a central hub for everything DBAS-related.
