It's been awhile since John went through his work-up. Even though he was 51 yrs old, they still checked him for congenital diseases like Fanconi anemia, Dyskeratosis congenita, Diamond-Blackfan anemia and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome. It would have been pretty rare for him to have any of these but it still needed to be ruled out.

He was also checked for PNH.

If they haven't already checked, it may worthwhile.
