SLC11A2 and hypochromic anemia: Among the mutations identified in the SLC11A2 gene, whichencodes the DMT-1 protein, two were more associated with a clinical picture ofmicrocytic hypochromic anemia of genetic cause, due to changes in proteinconformation: the 1285G-C transversion, in exon 12/intron 129 and the 1246C-T transition, in exon 13.8
