Pediatric Grand Rounds (CME) - Translational Hematology: The Role of Ribosomes in Bone Marrow Failure
Anupama Narla, MD - Stanford School of Medicine
Herbert Schwartz, MD Memorial Lectureship in Pediatrics
Session will address very specific translational questions in pediatric hematology that will contribute both to patient management as well as scientific discovery in rare diseases.
Session Description:
My first patient as a medical student was diagnosed with Diamond Blackfan anemia (DBA). My attending had to inform me that DBA was not, in fact, the most common cause of childhood anemia. However, it remains to me a fascinating disease particularly because ribosomal haploinsufficiency has been shown to cause the severe erythroid defect and because treatment options for patients remain limited. My clinical and research interests are focused on studying the pathophysiology of ribosomopathies and understanding the mechanism of drugs that promote erythropoiesis in these conditions. My goal is to address very specific translational questions in pediatric hematology that will contribute both to patient management as well as scientific discovery in rare diseases.
Education goals for this session:
- Review the inherited bone marrow failure syndromes
- Discuss the role of ribosomes in hematopoiesis
- Explore how certain drugs (specifically steroids) potentially work in these conditions
- Summarize clinical flags for clinicians and provide resources for these rare disorders

CME Credit
Accreditation
The Stanford University School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
Credit Designation
The Stanford University School of Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of 1.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)TM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Cultural and Linguistic Competency
California Assembly Bill 1195 requires continuing medical education activities with patient care components to include curriculum in the subjects of cultural and linguistic competency. The planners and speakers of this CME activity have been encouraged to address cultural issues relevant to their topic area. The Stanford University School of Medicine Multicultural Health Portal also contains many useful cultural and linguistic competency tools including culture guides, language access information and pertinent state and federal laws.
