Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) is essential for metabolism of fatty acids, intermediary metabolism of folic acid and the biosynthesis of DNA and RNA. Deficiency of vitamin B12 may be produced by any of several factors, including inadequate dietary intake and malabsorption. It is associated with auto-immune disorders (pernicious anemia), gastric disorders and damage or absence of terminal ileum. Vitamin B12 deficiency can produce serious progressive neurological disorders and macrocytic or megaloblastic anemia. Hence B12 serves as an important marker for diagnosis and monitoring of anemia.
