Description : Hereditary spherocytosis refers to a group of heterogeneous disorders that are characterized
by the presence of spherical-shaped erythrocytes (spherocytes) on the peripheral blood
smear. The disorders are characterized clinically by anemia, jaundice, and splenomegaly,
with variable severity. Common complications include cholelithiasis, hemolytic episodes,
and aplastic crises (review by Perrotta et al., 2008). Elgsaeter et al. (1986) gave
an extensive review of the molecular basis of erythrocyte shape with a discussion
of the role of spectrin and other proteins such as ankyrin, actin (102630), band 4.1
(130500), and band 3 (109270), all of which is relevant to the understanding of spherocytosis
and elliptocytosis (see 611904). See Delaunay (2007) for a discussion of the molecular
basis of hereditary red cell membrane disorders. - Genetic Heterogeneity of Hereditary
