Acquired idiopathic sideroblastic anemia is one of a group of disorders known as the myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) characterized by ineffective haemopoiesis affecting one or more blood cell lineages (myeloid, erythroid or megakaryocytic) leading to peripheral blood cytopenias and an increased risk of developing leukemia. Acquired idiopathic sideroblastic anemia is now more commonly referred to as refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts or the acronym RARS.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for myelodysplastic syndrome with ring sideroblasts has been reported in the published literature.
Estimated prevalence: 1-9 in 100,000 (Uncommon).
2 clinical trials registered. Interventions under study include other interventions and drug therapy. Pipeline includes 1 PHASE1, 1 NA. Research is primarily sponsored by academic and government institutions.
50 publications have been identified in PubMed for myelodysplastic syndrome with ring sideroblasts. Research spans Clinical Trial Publication (20%), Basic Science / Preclinical (20%), and Review / Meta-Analysis (18%).
