Two new mutations in the <i>HIF2A</i> gene associated with erythrocytosis
19 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Congenital or familial erythrocytosis/polycythemia can have many causes, and an emerging cause is genetic disruption of the oxygen‐sensing pathway that regulates the Erythropoietin ( EPO ) gene. More specifically, recent studies have identified erythrocytosis‐associated mutations in the HIF2A gene, which encodes for Hypoxia Inducible Factor‐2α (HIF‐2α), as well as in two genes that encode for proteins...
