Megaloblastic anemia due to dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) deficiency 1. Abstract Studies have shown that folate deficiency megaloblastic anemia is associated with dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) deficiency due to mutations in the DHFR gene. In order for tetrahydrofolate (THR) to be able to participate in the de novo synthesis of DNA building blocks, it needs to be regenerated from dihydrofolate (DHR). Regeneration of THR requires DHR to be reduced by the enzyme DHFR. Hence, a deficiency in DHFR

Anemia: According to National Heart, Lung and Blood institute, anemia is the most common blood disorder in the United States affecting over 3 million individuals (2015). It develops when the blood lacks oxygen. It is a condition whereby ineffective DNA synthesis occurs as a lack of hemoglobin nutrients.

Why that is important is because vitamin B12 helps keep the body’s nerve and blood cells healthy, but one of the main reasons B12 is important is because it helps prevent pernicious anemia. Pernicious anemia is an autoimmune disorder that prevents the body from making the intrinsic factor. It is important to know how this process works. An autoimmune disease is a disease where the body’s own immune system makes antibodies that attack its own
