Abstract excerpt
Idiopathic erythrocytosis is a rare disease characterized by an increase in red blood cell mass due to mutations in proteins of the oxygen-sensing pathway, such as prolyl hydroxylase 2 (PHD2). Here, we present a bioinformatics investigation of the pathological effect of twelve PHD2 mutations related to polycythemia insurgence. We show that few mutations impair the PHD2 catalytic site, while most localize to...
