Abstract

The congenital sideroblastic anemias (CSAs) are relatively uncommon diseases, characterized by defects in mitochondrial heme synthesis, iron-sulfur cluster (Fe-S) biogenesis, or protein synthesis. Here we demonstrate that mutations in HSPA9, a mitochondrial HSP70 homologue located in the 5q- syndrome 5q33 critical deletion interval and involved in mitochondrial Fe-S biogenesis, result in CSA, inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. In a fraction of patients with just one severe loss-of-function allele, expression of the clinical phenotype is associated with a common cSNP in trans that correlates with reduced mRNA expression and results in a pseudo-dominant pattern of inheritance.
