    We report a rare case of severe congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type 1 with fetal onset. Our patient presented with fetal hydrops from 19 weeks of gestation, requiring multiple intrauterine transfusions. At birth, she had severe hemolytic anemia with severe jaundice, and was subsequently transfusion dependent. She eventually developed severe iron overload and fulminant liver failure before her demise at 5 months of age. Genetic testing revealed a novel mutation in CDAN1.
