A novel SPTB mutation causes hereditary spherocytosis via loss-of-function of β-spectrin.

Abstract excerpt

Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is the most frequently observed chronic non-immune hemolytic disorder caused by altered red cell membrane function. SPTB gene mutation is one of the most common causes of HS, but pathogenicity analyses and pathogenesis research on these mutations have not been widely conducted. In this study, a novel heterozygous mutation of the SPTB gene (c.1509_1518del; p.K503Nfs*67) was identified...
