The transferrin is abnormally high in iron deficiency anemia. The gene for transferrin is in chromosome band 3q21. Hereditary absence of transferrin is called atransferrinemia. It is characterized by anemia and hemosiderosis (iron deposition) in the heart and liver.The iron damage to the heart can lead to heart failure.The anemia is typically microcytic and hypochromic (the red blood cells are abnormally small and pale).he blood transferrin level is tested for diverse reasons: to determine the cause of anemia, to examine iron metabolism (for example, in iron deficiency anemia) and to determine the iron-carrying capacity of the blood.
