Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia (IRIDA) is a rare hereditary disorder caused by pathogenic variants in TMPRSS6, characterized by microcytic anemia, low circulating iron levels, and inappropriately high hepcidin levels. Although IRIDA is typically an autosomal recessive disorder, some individuals with a monoallelic pathogenic exonic TMPRSS6 variant exhibit the phenotype, suggesting additional...
