Study Summary

This study will determine the safety and possibility of giving the amino acid, leucine, in patients with Diamond Blackfan anemia(DBA)who are on dependent on red blood cell transfusions. The leucine is expected to produce a response in patients with DBA to the point where red blood cell production is increased. Red cell transfusions can then be less frequent or possibly discontinued. The investigators will study the side effects, if any, of giving leucine to DBA patients. Leucine levels of leucine will be obtained at baseline and during the study. The drug leucine will be provided in capsule form and taken 3 times a day for a total of 9 months.

Primary Outcome

The primary outcome is the type of response observed at 9 months. Response to treatment can be one of the following: 1. Complete response (CR): Hb \> 9 gm/dL and transfusion-independence as defined in DBA 2. Partial response (PR): Hb \< 9 gm/dL and increased reticulocyte count to greater than baseline. 3. No response (NR): no change in transfusion requirements and no significant change reticulocyte count from baseline 4. Progression: worsening of disease as defined by the need for more frequent
