Sideroblastic Anemias
Sideroblastic anemia is an umbrella term for a group of heterogenous disorders with a common defect: failure to use iron in hemoglobin synthesis despite the availability of adequate iron stores.
Sideroblastic anemia results when developing red blood cells called erythroblasts do not make enough hemoglobin, which is the protein that carries oxygen in the blood.

The sideroblastic anemias are a group of blood disorders in which the body has enough iron but is unable to use it to make hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood.
X-linked sideroblastic anemia - caused by mutations in the ALAS2 gene At least 50 mutations that cause X-linked sideroblastic anemia have been identified in the ALAS2 gene.
Definition Sideroblastic anemia is a term used to describe a group of rare blood disorders characterized by the bone marrow's inability to manufacture normal red blood cells.

Secondary or acquired hemochromatosis can be caused by diseases such as thalassemia or sideroblastic anemia, especially if the person has received a large number of blood transfusions.
Chronic disease also can cause iron-deficiency anemia if the disease interferes with the normal integration of iron into the RBC. Sideroblastic anemia is a type of anemia in which iron cannot be properly utilized.
Our program is led by Matthew Heeney, MD, an expert in pediatric hematology, who specializes in sickle cell disease and inherited disorders of iron deficiency, sideroblastic anemia and iron overload.
A low TIBC and high serum iron may be a sign of sideroblastic anemia (a condition that prevents your red blood cells from using iron).
A high serum ferritin level, high serum iron, and low TIBC may be caused by hemochromatosis.
