ABSTRACT
Primary mitochondrial disorders (PMDs) are known for their pleiotropic manifestations in humans, affecting almost any organ or system at any time. Hematologic manifestations, such as cytopenias and sideroblastic anemia, occur in 10% to 30% of patients with confirmed PMDs. These can be the initial presenting features or complications that develop over time. Surveillance for these manifestations allows for prompt identification and treatment. This article provides an overview of the pathophysiology underpinning the hematologic effects of mitochondrial dysfunction, discussing the 3 key roles of the mitochondria in hematopoiesis providing energy for cell differentiation and function, synthesizing heme, and generating iron-sulfur clusters. Subsequently, the diagnosis and management of mitochondrial disorders are discussed, focusing on hematologic manifestations and the specific conditions commonly associated with them. Through this, we aimed to provide a concise point of reference for those considering a mitochondrial cause for a patient's hematologic abnormality, or for those considering a hematologic manifestation in a patient with known or suspected mitochondrial disease.
