Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Anemia, hereditary sideroblastic; Anemia, hypochromic; ANH1; Anemia, sideroblastic, X-linked; XLSA; Hereditary iron-loading anemia;
Description : The essential features of X-linked sideroblastic anemia include the following: (1)
a hypochromic microcytic anemia and 2 discrete populations of red blood cells, one
microcytic and the other normocytic; (2) marrow ringed sideroblasts, particularly
prominent in the late erythroid precursors; (3) a variable hematologic response to
pharmacologic doses of pyridoxine; and (4) systemic iron overload secondary to chronic
ineffective erythropoiesis. The age of clinical onset of the disorder can vary from
in utero to the ninth decade. Whereas males are preferentially affected, females may
present with clinically severe anemia. More commonly, female carriers of the disease
have an increased red blood cell distribution width and sometimes erythrocyte dimorphism
(Fleming, 2002).;
Inheritance : X-linked recessive;
