   Jul 4, 2023 · Hereditary spherocytosis, a type of congenital hemolytic anemia, is the most prevalent cause of hemolytic anemia due to an abnormal red cell membrane. These atypical erythrocytes are unable to maintain their normal biconcave shape due to genetic mutations in the membrane/cytoskeletal proteins that play a role in structural morphologic stability.

   Jan 1, 2024 · Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is an inherited condition of red blood cells. The disease can be mild and go unrecognised in some people. In others there may be severe anaemia requiring regular blood transfusions. Some people with hereditary spherocytosis may be offered surgery to remove their spleen.

   How does hereditary spherocytosis affect red blood cells?

   • In hereditary spherocytosis, genetic mutations affect the red cell membrane proteins, breaking the connection between the cytoskeleton and the outer layer. The broken connection means the cytoskeleton can’t support the outer layer. As a result, red blood cells change from flexible disks to inflexible spherocytes.

   Aug 5, 2019 · Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is an inherited disease that affects the red blood cells. Characteristic symptoms of HS are the destruction of red blood cells in the spleen and their removal from the blood stream (hemolytic anemia), a yellow tone to the skin (jaundice), and an enlarged spleen (splenomegaly).
