genetic mutation that results in altered hemoglobin structure

immature RBC

characterized by large immature red blood cells, as occurs in folate or vitamin B12 deficiency

associated with shortened RBC life span

genetic mutation that reduces hemoglobin synthesis

results from iron deficiency

production of RBCs
