commonest mechanisms for its development are somatic mutations of the ATRX gene (chr. Xq),
explaining why males are predominantly affected. Less frequently, α-globin gene cluster deletions
because of clonal chromosomal instability may occur. This case highlights how simple, low-cost
supravital new methylene blue stain can reveal an ultra-rare cause of unexplained microcytic
hypochromic anemia; with NGS clinching the diagnosis.
