Bone Marrow Failure Bone marrow failure occurs when blood cells, including red cells, white cells and platelets are not produced in a sufficient quantity or the cells that are produced are defective or damaged. The overall decrease in mature blood cells is called cytopenia, and bone marrow failure can be associated with single (e.g. thrombocytopenia) or multiple lineage (e.g. thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, anemia) cytopenias. In addition to cytopenias, bone marrow failure is also associated with an increased risk for hematologic malignancies such as myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 31% of all deaths (Cardiovascular Diseases). Environmental and behavioral factors are important aspects in the development of cardiovascular disease, but heredity plays a role as well.
