Identification of a novel erythroid-specific enhancer for the ALAS2 gene and its loss-of-function mutation which is associated with congenital sideroblastic anemia

Haematologica, 2014
Erythroid-specific 5-aminolevulinate synthase (ALAS2) is the rate-limiting enzyme for heme biosynthesis in erythroid cells, and a missense mutation of the ALAS2 gene is associated with congenital sideroblastic anemia.

Integrated Phytochemical and Pharmacological Investigation of Mentha aquatica L.: Anti‐Inflammatory, Analgesic, and Safety Evidence From In Vivo Studies

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Mentha aquatica decocted extract contained mainly phenolic acids and showed a favorable oral safety profile in mice, with no significant subacute toxicity. Intraperitoneal administration caused dose‐dependent toxicity. The extract exhibited significant dose‐dependent anti‐inflammatory and analgesic activities in rodent models, supporting its potential ...

Iron Overload: Pathophysiology, Diagnosis and Monitoring

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, Volume 48, Issue 4, Page 747-756, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Iron overload is associated with significant health risks, underscoring the importance of understanding its pathophysiology as well as establishing accurate diagnostic and monitoring methods. Chronic iron overload is associated with either genetic disorders characterized by excessive iron accumulation (hereditary hemochromatosis), or is ...

Exploring the mechanistic link between SF3B1 mutation and ring sideroblast formation in myelodysplastic syndrome

Scientific Reports, 2022
Acquired sideroblastic anemia, characterized by bone marrow ring sideroblasts (RS), is predominantly associated with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Although somatic mutations in splicing factor 3b subunit 1 (SF3B1), which is involved in the RNA splicing

Vitamin‐Responsive Disorders: From Molecular Basis to Clinical Presentation and Therapy

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, Volume 49, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Vitamin‐dependent cofactors are essential for numerous metabolic reactions, and defects affecting their uptake, conversion, utilisation, or regeneration constitute a heterogeneous group of inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs). Although dietary vitamin intake is sufficient to sustain coenzyme synthesis in healthy individuals, it is insufficient

Congenital sideroblastic anemia model due to ALAS2 mutation is susceptible to ferroptosis

Scientific Reports, 2022
X-linked sideroblastic anemia (XLSA), the most common form of congenital sideroblastic anemia, is caused by a germline mutation in the erythroid-specific 5-aminolevulinate synthase (ALAS2) gene.
