Recently, overhydrated hereditary stomatocytosis (OHSt), a rare dominantly inherited hemolytic anemia, was found to be associated with a mutation (Phe65Ser or Ile61Arg) in RHAG.
Recently, overhydrated hereditary stomatocytosis (OHSt), a rare dominantly inherited hemolytic anemia, was found to be associated with a mutation (Phe65Ser or Ile61Arg) in RHAG.
DNA analysis revealed that the OHSt patients have 1 of 2 heterozygous mutations (t182g, t194c) in RHAG that lead to substitutions of 2 highly conserved amino acids (Ile61Arg, Phe65Ser).
