Causes

Life-threatening Causes

• There are no life-threatening causes of sideroblastic anemia, however complications resulting from untreated sideroblastic anemia is common.

Common Causes

Common causes of sideroblastic anemia may include:

• Alcoholism
• Chloramphenicol
• Isoniazid
• Copper deficiency (nutritional, zinc-induced, copper chelation)
• Vit B-6 deficiency
• X-linked sideroblastic anemia

Less Common Causes

Less common causes of sideroblastic anemia include:

• Myelodysplastic syndrome
• Autosomal recessive

Genetic Causes

• X-linked sideroblastic anemia. defect in ALAS2,.
• Autosomal recessive sideroblastic anemia with mutations in the SLC25A38 gene.
• Genetic syndromes
