XLSA: X-linked sideroblastic anemia; XLSA/A: X-linked sideroblastic anemia with ataxia; PMPS: Pearson Marrow Pancreas Syndrome; TRMA: thiamine-responsive megaloblastic anemia; MLASA: mitochondrial myopathy and sideroblastic anemia. SIFD: syndromic form of congenital sideroblastic anemia associated with B-cell immunodeficiency, periodic fevers, and developmental delay. Adopted and modified from [13, 14]. Sporadic cases are also observed.
