Gene: [0Xp1121/ALAS2] delta-aminolevulinate synthase 2 (red cell specific); sideroblastic anemia (ASB; hypochromic; hereditary iron-loading anemia);

FUN	Systematic name: succinyl-CoA:glycine C-succinyl-transferase (decarboxylating). The reaction catalyzed: succinyl-CoA + glycine = 5-aminolevulinate + CoA + CO(2). Cofactor: piridoxalephosphate."
PAT	Cotter-1992b,1994,1995 and Cox-1994 demonstrated point mutations in the ALAS2 gene in a patient with X-linked sideroblastic anemia."
