Abstract:
The molecular causes of hereditary spherocytosis (HS) have been unraveled in the past decade. No frequent defect is found, and nearly every family has a unique mutation. In dominant HS, nonsense and frameshift mutations of ankyrin, band 3, and beta-spectrin predominate. Recessive HS is most often due to compound heterozygosity of defects in ankyrin, alpha-spectrin, or protein 4.2. Common combinations include a defect in the promoter or 5'-untranslated region of ankyrin paired with a missense mut...     »
