Abstract excerpt
A rare cause of megaloblastic anemia (MA) is thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia (TRMA), a genetic disorder caused by mutations in SLC19A2 (encoding THTR1), a thiamine transporter. The study objectives were to (1) functionally characterize selected TRMA-associated SLC19A2 variants and (2) determine whether current prescription drugs associated with drug-induced MA (DIMA) may act via inhibition of SLC19A2....
