Ineffective erythropoiesis is defined by the expansion of early-stage erythroid precursors driven by erythropoietin, accompanied by the apoptosis of late-stage precursors. . This mechanism is principally responsible for the anemia seen in acquired conditions such as certain subtypes of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and inherited disorders such as β-thalassemia, inherited sideroblastic ...
In thalassemia, ineffective erythropoiesis causes the bone marrow to expand. This expansion is a compensatory response to the damage caused to red blood cells by the imbalanced production of globin chains. [25] Bone marrow expansion can lead to abnormal bone structure, particularly in the skull and face.
Ineffective erythropoiesis: Ineffective erythropoiesis is an anemia caused by the premature apoptosis of the body's mature red blood cells [49] and subsequent reduction in an adequate production and full maturation of new healthy red blood cells.

Beta-thalassemia; Other names: Microcytemia, beta type [1] Beta thalassemia genetics, the picture shows one example of how beta thalassemia is inherited. The beta globin gene is located on chromosome 11. A child inherits two beta globin genes (one from each parent). Specialty: Hematology: Types: Thalassemia minor, intermediate and major [2] Causes
Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia (CDA) is a rare blood disorder, similar to the thalassemias.CDA is one of many types of anemia, characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis, and resulting from a decrease in the number of red blood cells (RBCs) in the body and a less than normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood. [2]
Beta thalassemia is associated with distinctive facial features due to ineffective erythropoiesis. The ineffective erythropoiesis causes marrow hyperplasia or expansion and bony changes, including the bones of the face; this causes craniofacial protrusions. [5] Mowat–Wilson syndrome; Snijders Blok–Campeau syndrome [6] [7]
CDA is one of many types of anemia, characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis, and resulting from a decrease in the number of red blood cells (RBCs) in the body and a less than normal quantity of hemoglobin in the blood. [21] The symptoms and signs of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia are consistent fatigue, weakness, and pale skin. [21]
Erythropoiesis-stimulating agents are only recommended in those with severe anemia. [10] Anemia is the most common blood disorder, affecting about a fifth to a third of the global population. [1] [11] [12] [13] Iron-deficiency anemia is the most common cause of anemia worldwide, and affects nearly one billion people. [14]
