What it is
Inherited acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rare, malignant hematopologic disease characterized by clonal proliferation of myeloid blasts, primarily involving the bone marrow, in association with congenital disorders (e.g. Fanconi anemia, dyskeratosis congenita, Bloom syndrome, Down syndrome, congenital neutropenia, neurofibromatosis, etc.) and genetic defects predisposing to AML. Patients present with signs and symptoms related to ineffective hematopoesis (fatigue, bleeding and bruising, recurrent infections, bone pain) and/or extramedullary site involvement (gingivitis, splenomegaly, etc.). Depending on the underlying genetic defect, there may be additional cancer risks and other health problems present.

Orphanet records these for the broader condition rather than for this specific form. They are a starting point, not a figure for this subtype — subtypes often differ, and some are defined by being rarer than the condition they sit under.

ICD-10 codes
ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.
