Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant overhydrated cation-leak stomatocytosis in humans has been associated with missense mutations in the erythroid membrane transport genes AE1, RhAG, and GLUT1. Syndromic stomatocytosis has been reported in three dog breeds, but stomatocytosis in Standard Schnauzers is usually asymptomatic, and is accompanied by minimal if any anemia. We have extended the evaluation of a cohort of schnauzers. We...
