A novel type of congenital hypochromic anemia associated with a nonsense mutation in the STEAP3/TSAP6 gene
27 Oct 2011
Abstract excerpt
STEAP3/TSAP6 encodes a ferrireductase that is involved in the acquisition of iron by developing erythroblasts and steap3/tsap6 null-mice display severe microcytic anemia. We report a family in which 3 siblings born to healthy parents display transfusion-dependent hypochromic anemia. A nonsense STEAP3/TSAP6 was identified in the siblings at the heterozygous state. This mutation was inherited from their father...
