Iron Refractory Iron Deficiency Anemia in Dizygotic Twins Due to a Novel Gene Mutation in Addition to Polymorphisms Associated With High Susceptibility to Develop Ferropenic Anemia

Iron Refractory Iron Deficiency Anemia in Dizygotic Twins Due to a Novel Gene Mutation in Addition to Polymorphisms Associated With High Susceptibility to Develop Ferropenic Anemia

Iron refractory iron deficiency anemia (IRIDA) is an autosomal recessive ferropenic anemia. Its hypochromic microcytic pattern is associated with low transferrin saturation, normal-high ferritin, and inappropriately high hepcidin level. This entity is caused by mutants of the TMPRSS6 gene that encod...
