Abstract excerpt
X-linked sideroblastic anemia is a genetic disorder characterized by a hypochromic microcytic anemia of variable intensity with the presence of ring sideroblasts in the bone marrow of the patients. Two different mutations have been reported in the ALAS2 gene in patients with this disease. We have studied a large kindred with a pyridoxine-sensitive form of X-linked sideroblastic anemia. Sequencing amplified cDNA...
