Scientists hunt for missing genes behind rare blood disorder
NCT ID NCT07459816
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks for new genetic causes of congenital sideroblastic anemias, a group of rare blood disorders where the body cannot properly use iron to make red blood cells. Researchers will analyze DNA from 20 people whose genetic cause is still unknown. The goal is to find and confirm new genes involved in this condition.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patient with unexplained congenital sideroblastic anemia on the molecular side with the gene panels used routinely * Patients already identified by exome sequencing approach carrying bi-allelic variants of candidate genes of the mitochondrial respiratory pathway. * Patients meeting the same criteria who will be identified prospectively over the next 12 months Exclusion Criteria: * NA
