The body's inability to construct new beta-chains leads to the underproduction of HbA . Reductions in HbA available overall to fill the red blood cells in turn leads to microcytic anemia.

Defects in DNAJC19 have been observed primarily in cases of dilated cardiomyopathy with ataxia ( DCMA ), though it has also been associated with growth failure, microcytic anemia, and male genital anomalies.

In nephrotic syndrome, urinary loss of transferrin, along with other serum proteins such as thyroxine-binding globulin, gammaglobulin, and anti-thrombin III, can manifest as iron-resistant microcytic anemia.

As absence of iron decreases heme synthesis, red blood cells in iron deficiency anemia are " hypochromic " ( lacking the red hemoglobin pigment ) and " microcytic " ( smaller than normal ).

In patients with anemia, it is the MCV measurement that allows classification as either a microcytic anemia ( MCV below normal range ), normocytic anemia ( MCV within normal range ) or macrocytic anemia ( MCV above normal range ).

A low MCV, a low mean corpuscular hemoglobin or mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, and the appearance of the RBCs on visual examination of a peripheral blood smear narrows the problem to a microcytic anemia ( literally, a " small red blood cell " anemia ).

However, when the protein was ablated in murine models, both intestine-specific and whole-body hephaestin knockout ( KO ) strains exhibited similarly severe accumulation of iron in the duodenal enterocytes and suffered from microcytic, hypochromic anemia, indicative of systemic iron deficiency.
