- Although relatively rare, hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is the most common cause of hemolytic anemia due to a red cell membrane defect. It is a result of heterogeneous alterations in one of five genes that encode red blood cell (RBC) membrane proteins involved in vertical associations that link the membrane cytoskeleton to the lipid bilayer.

Oct 24, 2021 · Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a hereditary hemolytic anemia caused by the mutations in the genes encoding erythrocyte membrane proteins and is mostly inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. 1, 2, 3 HS is classified into four types according to the severity of the disease: trait, mild, moderate, and severe. Commonly, there is heterogeneity ...

Hereditary spherocytosis and hereditary elliptocytosis are congenital red blood cell (RBC) membrane disorders that can cause a mild hemolytic anemia. Symptoms, generally milder in hereditary elliptocytosis, include variable degrees of anemia, jaundice, and splenomegaly.
Jun 9, 2018 · This breakdown process is called hemolytic anemia. A normal red blood cell can live for up to 120 days, but red blood cell with hereditary spherocytosis might live for as few as 10 to 30 days.
