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 Spherocytosis Also see spherocytosis type 2 (see 182870), caused by mutation in the;
