HEREDITARY ELLIPTOCYTOSIS

Alternate names

HEREDITARY ELLIPTOCYTOSIS Is also known as he

Description

Hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) is a rare clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder of the red cell membrane characterized by manifestations ranging from mild to severe transfusion-dependent hemolytic anemia but with the majority of patients being asymptomatic.

Most common symptoms of HEREDITARY ELLIPTOCYTOSIS

  • Anemia
  • Fatigue
  • Respiratory distress
  • Jaundice
  • Cholelithiasis

MALARIA

Description

Malaria is a preventable life-threatening parasitic disease caused by Plasmodium (P. ) parasites that are transmitted by Anophles mosquito bites to humans and is typically clinically characterized by attacks of fever, headache, chills and vomiting.

Most common symptoms of MALARIA

  • Cognitive impairment
  • Anemia
  • Fever
  • Respiratory distress
  • Headache

BLOOD GROUP, GERBICH SYSTEM; GE

Alternate names

BLOOD GROUP, GERBICH SYSTEM; GE Is also known as gerbich blood group system

Description

The Gerbich blood group system contains 6 high-prevalence and 5 low-prevalence antigens that are expressed on glycophorin C (GPC), glycophorin D (GPD), or both GPC and GPD. GPC and GPD, which contribute stability to the red blood cell membrane, are encoded by the same gene, GYPC, through the use of alternative translational start sites. Deficiency of GPC and GPD is associated with hereditary elliptocytosis, and Gerbich antigens act as receptors for the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum (see {611162}). The Gerbich antibodies anti-Ge2 and anti-Ge3 have caused hemolytic transfusion reactions, and anti-Ge3 has produced hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (review by Walker and Reid, 2010).

Most common symptoms of BLOOD GROUP, GERBICH SYSTEM; GE

  • Elliptocytosis
  • Blood group antigen abnormality
