Iron overload in hereditary spherocytosis: Are genetic factors the cause?
Summary Non‐transfusional iron overload (IOL) in hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is poorly documented compared with other red blood cell disorders. We studied 13 HS adults with confirmed IOL to identify potential genetic factors. Using a next‐generation sequencing panel of 46 genes related to HS, anaemia and iron metabolism, we found no association ...

Parvovirus B19 infection in pediatric transplant patients [PDF]
Evidence of recent parvovirus virus infection (as determined by the presence of a positive IgM antibody titer) without other identified causes of anemia was found in 5 of 26 pediatric solid-organ transplant recipients evaluated for moderate-to-severe ...

This review highlights how studies on animal red cells have enriched our understanding of the behaviour of those from humans. A comparative perspective has enhanced our knowledge of human red cell pathophysiology Summary This review emphasises how studies on animal red cells have enriched our understanding of the behaviour of those from humans.

Background Hereditary spherocytosis is a very heterogeneous form of hemolytic anemia. The aim of this study was to relate the type of molecular defect with clinical and hematologic features and response to splenectomy using information from a large ...

Acquired spherocytosis in the setting of myelodysplasia
Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is the most prevalent red blood cell (RBC) membrane disorder. We report a rare case of acquired SPTB spherocytosis coinciding with a myelodysplastic syndrome associated U2AF1 mutation, neither found in germline DNA.

Targeted Next‐Generation Sequencing of the Leptin‐Melanocortin Pathway in Severe Obesity
ABSTRACT Objective Pathogenic variants in five established leptin‐melanocortin pathway genes (LEP, LEPR, MC4R, PCSK1, POMC) are associated with severe early‐onset obesity and are targets for emerging treatments. However, these variants are rare in these patients, suggesting the involvement of additional genes interacting with this pathway. Methods Next‐

Timeline of events ABSTRACT Moderate‐to‐severe ulcerative colitis can be effectively treated with JAK‐1 inhibition, but platelet counts should be closely monitored, especially in active disease. We confirmed immune‐mediated thrombocytopenia (ITP) in one of our patients after the initiation of filgotinib. Whether this was drug‐induced is uncertain.

Impairment of Bone Health in Pediatric Patients with Hemolytic Anemia [PDF]
Introduction Sickle cell anemia and thalassemia result in impaired bone health in both adults and youths. Children with other types of chronic hemolytic anemia may also display impaired bone health.
