Megaloblastic Anemia The normal proliferation of cells depends on adequate folate and vitamin B12. Folate is necessary for efficient thymidilate synthesis and production of DNA. is needed to successfully incorporate circulating folic acid into developing RBCs; retaining the folate in the RBC. Review the metabolic mechanisms of B12 and folate (See Normal Hematopoiesis-B12 and Folate Metabolism) Pyrimidines: thymine, cytosine, and uracil Purines: adenine and guanine Lack of folate or B12 leads to decreased dTTP synthesis, resulting in a slowing of DNA synthesis. The role of folate is illustrated at right. The mechanism by which B12 leads to decreased DNA synthesis is unclear. Two likely explanations follow. Methylfolate "trap" hypothesis . Lack of cobalamin slows the methyltransferase reaction resulting in increased N5-methyl FH4. Thus N5-methyl FH4 is "trapped" or unable to be metabolized to FH4. N5-methyl FH4 can convert to N5, 10-methylene FH4, but poorly without new FH4 other forms of folate diminish leading to slowed synthesis of dTMP. Formate "starvation" hypothesis . Lack of cobalamine slows the methyltransferase reaction deceasing methionine production and in turn depressing formate generation. A deficiency of either vitamin Bl2 or folic acid results in megaloblastic erythroid cells-

Megaloblastic Anemia What is megaloblasticanemia? Megaloblastic anemia is a type of anemia characterized by very large red blood cells. In addition to the cells being large, the inner contents of each cell are not completely developed. This malformation causes the bone marrow to produce fewer cells, and sometimes the cells die earlier than the 120-day life expectancy. Instead of being round or disc-shaped, the red blood cells can be oval. What causes megaloblastic anemia?

Slide 18: PB of megaloblastic anemia Peripheral blood : Macrocytic anemia; The leukocyte and platelet count also may be decreased, particularly in severely anemic patients. RBC : marked anisocytosis and poikilocytosis, together with macroovalocytes, which are large, oval, fully hemoglobinized erythrocytes typical of megaloblastic anemias. There is some basophilic stippling, and an occasional nucleated RBC may be seen. WBC : the neutrophils show hypersegmentation of the nucleus. This is such a characteristic finding that a single cell with a nucleus of six lobes or more should raise the immediate suspicion of a megaloblastic anemia. A rare myelocyte also may be seen. Platelet : Bizarre, misshapen platelets are also observed. Back to: ¦å²G¾Ç©Ù¤ù§PŪÁ¿¸qºë­n

Home FAQ Start The Analyst Last updated: Feb 19, 2003 Megaloblastic Anemia Signs, symptoms and indicators Conditions that suggest it Contributing risk factors Other conditions that may be present ... Recommendations Megaloblastic anemia is a blood disorder characterized by red blood cells that are larger than normal resulting from certain nutritional deficiencies, absorption problems or other conditions. Problems with vitamin B12 and folic acid are the most common causes of megaloblastic anemia CAUTION: It is always important to discover the underlying deficiency that is causing a megaloblastic anemia. Higher doses of folic acid (greater than 1 mg per day) may improve or mask the anemia caused by a insufficiency. Unless the B12 deficiency is corrected, permanent nervous system damage may result. In other words, don’t treat a B12 deficiency with high doses of folic acid! Pernicious Anemia People with pernicious anemia loose their ability to make intrinsic factor (IF), a substance that enables vitamin B12 to be absorbed from the intestine. The result is vitamin B12 deficiency, which gradually affects sensory and motor nerves, causing neurological, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular problems. The disease can affect all racial groups, but the incidence is higher among people of Scandinavian or Northern European descent.

Established 1993 IAMA Identification and Cloning of the Gene Responsible for Megaloblastic Anemia Syndrome Maryam Banikazemi, M.D. Mount Sinai Hospital Thiamin-responsive megaloblastic anemia syndrome (TRMA) is an autosomal recessive disorder with features that include megaloblastic anemia, mild thrombocytopenia and leukopenia, sensorineural deafness and diabetes mellitus. Treatment with pharmacologic doses of thiamin ameliorates the megaloblastic anemia and diabetes mellitus. A defect in the plasma membrane transport of thiamin has been demonstrated in erythrocytes and cultured skin fibroblasts from TRMA patients. The gene causing TRMA was assigned to Lq23.2-q23.3 by linkage analysis. Molecular genetic analyses of four unrelated multiplex Iranian families inheriting TRMA confirmed linkage to the same region and identified recombinant chromosomes which permitted refinement of the critical region to a narrow 1.4-cM interval. Furthermore, we cloned a new gene, SLC19A2, identified from high-through put genomic sequences due to homology with SLC19A1, encoding reduced folate carrier 1.

Related Articles in Medline Articles in Medline by Author: Higginbottom, M. C. Nyhan, W. L. Medline Citation Abstract We studied a six-month-old infant with severe megaloblastic anemia, coma and hyperpigmentation of the extremities. He was found to have methylmalonic aciduria (79 mumol per milligram of creatinine) and homocystinuria (0.85 mumol per milligram of creatinine). Additional biochemical abnormalities included cystathioninuria, glycinuria, methylcitric aciduria, 3-hydroxypropionic aciduria and formic aciduria. The concentration of vitamin B12 in the serum was 20 pg per milliliter. This severe nutritional deficiency was a consequence of inadequate intake, for the infant was exclusively breast-fed by a strictly vegetarian mother who manifested methylmalonic aciduria. Our observations emphasize the importance of educating strict vegetarians about the deficiency of vitamin B12 in their diets and the importance of vitamin B12 supplementation.

Ans : Megaloblastic Anemia is characterized by the presence of large Red Blood Corpuscles in blood. Q.2) How does Megaloblastic Anemia progress? Ans: Folic acid plays a role in purine and pyrimidine synthesis. Cobalamin (vitamin B 12) is required for the proper metabolism of folate. Deficiency of either can ultimately lead to defective DNA metabolism and Megaloblastosis. Q.3) What are the causes of Megaloblastic Anemia?
