Abstract excerpt
Defects in erythrocyte membrane proteins can cause the most common type of inherited hemolytic anemia, so called hereditary spherocytosis (HS). It is characterized by the appearance of spherocytes in peripheral blood, hemolytic anemia, splenomegaly, jaundice and gallstones. Due to difficulty of diagnosis solely based on aforementioned parameters, the addition of genetic testing seems to be effective and most...
