Abstract

Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome (SDS) is a rare autosomal recessive condition characterized by bone marrow dysfunction, skeletal abnormalities, and pancreatic insufficiency. Compared to other inherited bone marrow failure syndromes, there is a gap in qualitative research highlighting SDS patient perspectives. Understanding the lived experiences of individuals with SDS and their caregivers is critical for addressing their unmet needs, guiding future research and drug development, and improving clinical care and quality of life.
