Genetic causes of congenital sideroblastic anemia
Official title: Genomic of CONgenital Sideroblastic Anemias
Run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens · NCT07459816 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will test whether detailed genomic analysis of blood samples can identify genetic causes of congenital sideroblastic anemia in people not explained by routine gene panels.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are people with congenital sideroblastic anemia unexplained by routine gene panels or those found by exome sequencing to carry bi‑allelic variants in candidate mitochondrial respiratory pathway genes.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients whose genetic cause is already identified by routine testing or who cannot travel to Amiens or provide a blood sample are unlikely to benefit directly from participation.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This protocol collects blood samples for genomic analysis from people with unexplained congenital sideroblastic anemia or from those already found by exome sequencing to carry bi‑allelic variants in candidate mitochondrial respiratory genes. The focus is on genes involved in mitochondrial function and erythropoiesis to better characterize molecular causes of ring sideroblast formation and mitochondrial iron overload. Enrollment includes retrospectively identified patients and those identified prospectively over the next 12 months. The only intervention is a blood redraw for sequencing and related laboratory studies; no therapeutic intervention is provided.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the work could identify new genetic causes, improving diagnosis, genetic counseling, and informing future targeted management or research.
How similar studies have gone: Prior next‑generation sequencing efforts have identified several genes linked to congenital sideroblastic anemia, so the genomic approach has precedent though many cases remain genetically unresolved.
