Elliptocytosis 3(EL3)

MedGen UID:
357139
Concept ID:
C1866810
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: EL3
 
Gene (location): SPTB (14q23.3)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0054780
OMIM®: 617948

Definition

Hereditary elliptocytosis-3 (EL3) is a hemolytic disorder characterized by the presence of elliptical erythrocytes and resulting in some cases in hemolytic anemia (summary by Qualtieri et al., 1997). For a general description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of hereditary elliptocytosis (HE), see EL1 (611804). [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Intermittent jaundice
MedGen UID:
871317
Concept ID:
C4025805
Sign or Symptom
Jaundice that is sometimes present, sometimes not.
Elliptocytosis
MedGen UID:
98107
Concept ID:
C0427480
Finding
The presence of elliptical, cigar-shaped erythrocytes on peripheral blood smear.
Pyropoikilocytosis, hereditary
MedGen UID:
141708
Concept ID:
C0520739
Disease or Syndrome
Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis was originally described by Zarkowsky et al. (1975) as a distinct hemolytic anemia characterized by microspherocytosis, poikilocytosis, and an unusual thermal sensitivity of red cells. HPP is a subset of hereditary elliptocytosis (see 611804) due to homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in spectrin leading to severe disruption of spectrin self-association (review by An and Mohandas, 2008).
Decreased mean corpuscular volume
MedGen UID:
1375398
Concept ID:
C0855790
Finding
A reduction from normal of the mean corpuscular volume, or mean cell volume (MCV) of red blood cells (usually defined as an MCV below 80 femtoliters).
Chronic hemolytic anemia
MedGen UID:
237230
Concept ID:
C1387532
Disease or Syndrome
An chronic form of hemolytic anemia.
