Elliptocytosis 1

Common Name(s)

Elliptocytosis 1

Elliptocytosis is a hematologic disorder characterized by elliptically shaped erythrocytes and a variable degree of hemolytic anemia. Usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, elliptocytosis results from mutation in any one of several genes encoding proteins of the red cell membrane skeleton (summary by {24:McGuire et al., 1988}). Genetic Heterogeneity of Elliptocytosis Elliptocytosis-2 ({130600}) is caused by mutation in the SPTA1 gene ({182860}). Elliptocytosis-3 ({617948}) is caused by mutation in the SPTB gene ({182870}). Elliptocytosis-4 ({166900}), also known as Southeast Asian ovalocytosis, is caused by mutation in the SLC4A1 gene ({109270}). Also see pyropoikilocytosis ({266140}). See {11:Delaunay (2007)} for a discussion of the molecular basis of hereditary red cell membrane disorders.

Elliptocytosis in patients with C-terminal domain mutations of protein 4.1 correlates with encoded messenger RNA levels rather than with alterations in primary protein structure.
 

Author(s): M Morinière, L Ribeiro, N Dalla Venezia, M Deguillien, P Maillet, T Cynober, F Delhommeau, H Almeida, G Tamagnini, J Delaunay, F Baklouti

Journal: Blood. 2000 Mar;95(5):1834-41.

 

Early biochemical studies defined 4 functional domains of the erythroid protein 4.1 (4.1R). From amino-terminal to carboxy-terminal, these are 30 kd, 16 kd, 10 kd, and 22/24 kd in size. Although the functional properties of both the 30-kd and the 10-kd domain have been demonstrated ...

An isoform-specific mutation in the protein 4.1 gene results in hereditary elliptocytosis and complete deficiency of protein 4.1 in erythrocytes but not in nonerythroid cells.
 

Author(s): J G Conboy, J A Chasis, R Winardi, G Tchernia, Y W Kan, N Mohandas

Journal: J. Clin. Invest.. 1993 Jan;91(1):77-82.

 

Multiple protein 4.1 isoforms are expressed in a variety of tissues through complex alternative pre-mRNA splicing events, one function of which is to regulate use of two alternative translation initiation signals. Late erythroid cells express mainly the downstream initiation site ...

Homozygous 4.1(-) hereditary elliptocytosis associated with a point mutation in the downstream initiation codon of protein 4.1 gene.
 

Author(s): N Dalla Venezia, F Gilsanz, N Alloisio, M T Ducluzeau, E J Benz, J Delaunay

Journal: J. Clin. Invest.. 1992 Nov;90(5):1713-7.

 

We studied a 43 yr-old Spanish patient with homozygous 4.1(-) hereditary elliptocytosis. Any form of protein 4.1 was missing in the red cells. Spectrin and actin were slightly, yet significantly, diminished. Alterations appeared at the level of proteins 4.5 and 4.9. Glycophorin C ...
