Sideroblastic anemia: molecular analysis of the ALAS2 gene in a series of 29 probands and functional studies of 10 missense mutations

1 Feb 2011

Abstract excerpt

X-linked Sideroblastic Anemia (XLSA) is the most common genetic form of sideroblastic anemia, a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by iron deposits in the mitochondria of erythroid precursors. XLSA is due to mutations in the erythroid-specific 5-aminolevulinate synthase (ALAS2) gene. Thirteen different ALAS2 mutations were identified in 16 out of 29 probands with sideroblastic anemia. One third of the...
