Abstract

Hereditary elliptocytosis is a group of red blood cell membrane disorders that are characterized by elliptical-shaped erythrocytes and shortened red blood cell survival [1]. It is due to protein abnormalities involving the horizontal skeletal network of the red cell membrane, including the spectrin dimer-dimer interaction or the spectrin-actin-protein 4.1 junction complex [2].
