Abstract excerpt
Familial erythrocytosis (FE) is a congenital disorder, defined by elevated red blood cell number, hemoglobin, and hematocrit. Among eight types of FE, type 4 is caused by variants in the EPAS1 gene. Two other hypoxia-inducible factor alpha (HIFA) subunits, HIF1A and HIF3A, have not yet been associated with medical history of FE, but have potential role in the development of erythrocytosis. To improve diagnosis,...
