Inherited and acquired disorders characterized by ineffective erythropoiesis as the major mechanism of anemia

Inherited disorders 
Thalassemia 
Transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (also known as β-thalassemia major) 
Nontransfusion-dependent β-thalassemia (also known as β-thalassemia intermedia; including β-thalassemia/Hb E) 
Inherited sideroblastic anemias 
X-linked sideroblastic anemia, associated with mutations in ALAS2 
Autosomal recessive sideroblastic anemia, associated with mutations in SLC25A38 
CDAs 
CDA type I, associated with mutations in CDAN1 or CDIN1 
CDA type II, associated with biallelic mutations in SEC23B 
CDA type III, associated with a unique mutation in KIF23 
CDA type IV, associated with a unique mutation in KLF1 
Acquired disorders 
Megaloblastic anemias 
MDSs 
SF3B1-mutant MDS
