We are committed to transforming outcomes for people living with MDS and other iron-loading anemias.
To support better understanding of the condition, we have developed a short ‘eBook’ that you can find here. There are a number of
different types of MDS and this eBook focuses on the lower risk types. It provides an introduction to some of the
key topics relating to MDS, including what causes it, how it is diagnosed and current treatment options. It also
describes the reality of living with lower risk types of MDS.

“Hepcidin is to iron like insulin is to glucose. Just like people who have diabetes can suffer
from lack of insulin, people who have too much iron in the body don’t make enough hepcidin.” - Professor Tomas
Ganz, MD, PhD
Professor Tomas Ganz, MD, PhD, David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA, discusses his discovery of hepcidin as
the body’s master regulator of iron and its therapeutic potential across a range of hematological
conditions.
