Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hypochromic microcytic anemia associated with ineffective erythropoiesis caused by recessive mutations in divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) can be improved with high-dose erythropoietin supplementation. The aim of this study was to characterize and compare erythropoiesis in samples from a DMT1-mutant patient before and after treatment with erythropoietin, as well as in a mouse model with a DMT1...
