Article Synopsis
- An isodicentric (X)(q13) is a rare chromosomal abnormality linked to increased ringed sideroblasts (RSs) in female patients with certain blood disorders.
- Researchers reported a case of a 66-year-old woman with refractory anemia and the idicXq13 abnormality, identifying a deletion of the ABCB7 gene, which plays a role in iron transport within mitochondria.
- The loss of ABCB7 on the active X-chromosome may contribute to the accumulation of iron around erythroblast nuclei, suggesting it is a key factor in the condition's complexity.
