The role of genetic testing in accurate diagnosis of X-linked sideroblastic anemia: novel ALAS2 mutations and the impact of X-chromosome inactivation

Abstract X-linked sideroblastic anemia (XLSA) is a hereditary disorder affecting heme biosynthesis, caused by mutations in the ALAS2 gene, which encodes the erythroid-specific enzyme 5-aminolevulinate synthase. This enzyme, which requires pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP) as a cofactor, catalyzes the fir...
