" /> Erythrocytosis, familial, 2 - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Erythrocytosis, familial, 2;

Symbol : ECYT2;

CISMeF acronym : ECYT2;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Polycythemia, vhl-dependent;

Included titles and symbols : Polycythemia, chuvash type;

Description : Familial erythrocytosis-2 is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by increased red blood cell mass, increased serum levels of erythropoietin (EPO; 133170), and normal oxygen affinity. Patients with ECYT2 carry a high risk for peripheral thrombosis and cerebrovascular events (Cario, 2005). Familial erythrocytosis-2 has features of both primary and secondary erythrocytosis. In addition to increased circulating levels of EPO, consistent with a secondary, extrinsic process, erythroid progenitors are also hypersensitive to EPO, consistent with a primary, intrinsic process (Prchal, 2005).;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the VHL gene (VHL, 608537.0014);

Laboratory abnormalities : Increased serum erythropoietin (EPO, 133170); Increased serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF, 192240); Increased serum plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI1, 173360); Normal leukocyte and platelet counts;

Prefixed ID : #263400;
