Abdul Mannan: What Fascinates Me Most About Hereditary Elliptocytosis is Its Spectral Nature
Abdul Mannan, Consultant Haematologist at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, shared on LinkedIn:
”As a haematologist, what fascinates me most about Hereditary Elliptocytosis is its spectral nature—from asymptomatic carriers to severe HPP variants.
Remember: not all elliptocytes are created equal!”
Read the full issue here.
Hereditary elliptocytosis is a genetic red blood cell membrane disorder in which the cells are abnormally shaped like ellipses or ovals instead of the normal biconcave discs.
It is usually caused by mutations in genes encoding cytoskeletal proteins (such as spectrin), and while many individuals are asymptomatic, some may develop hemolytic anemia of varying severity.
