Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic erythrocytosis (IE) is a rare condition in which there is an increase in red cell mass and hematocrit. As it is typically driven by elevated or inappropriately normal erythropoietin (Epo) levels, it has the potential to reveal the identities of proteins involved in the oxygen sensing pathway that regulates the transcription factor, Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF), and hence Epo production in humans. One...
