Overview

There are no life-threatening causes of sideroblastic anemia, however complications resulting from untreated sideroblastic anemia is common.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 of sideroblastic anemia include myelodysplastic syndrome, autosomal recessive disorders, X-linked sideroblastic anemia. defect in ALAS2, autosomal recessive sideroblastic anemia with mutations in the SLC25A38 gene and genetic syndromes.
