Iron deficiency anemia is a worldwide health problem in which environmental, physiologic and genetic factors play important roles. The associations between iron status biomarkers and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)' known to be related to iron metabolism' were studied in menstruating women. A group of 80 Egyptian menstruating women, a population group at risk of iron deficiency anemia, participated in the study. Hematological and biochemical parameters were analyzed and rs1375515 SNP of CACNA2D3 was selected and genotyped by real time PCR. The associations between genetic and biochemical data were analyzed by (SPSS) version 25. The results showed that there were no significant associations between rs1375515 SNP and iron deficiency anemia in all examined women.
