Mutations in the Gardos channel (KCNN4) are associated with hereditary xerocytosis

Abstract excerpt

Hereditary xerocytosis (HX; MIM 194380) is an autosomal-dominant hemolytic anemia characterized by primary erythrocyte dehydration. In many patients, heterozygous mutations associated with delayed channel inactivation have been identified in PIEZO1. This report describes patients from 2 well-phenotyped HX kindreds, including from one of the first HX kindreds described, who lack predicted heterozygous...
