In‐depth analysis of osmotic gradient ektacytometry parameters across different genotypes in hereditary spherocytosis

British Journal of Haematology, Volume 208, Issue 5, Page 1785-1796, May 2026.
Summary Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a hereditary haemolytic anaemia, caused by pathogenic variants in genes encoding red blood cell membrane proteins. Osmotic gradient ektacytometry evaluates red cell deformability and hydration and is increasingly used in the diagnosis of HS.
