Hereditary Spherocytosis is a genetic disorder where red blood cells become spherical and are more prone to early destruction, leading to anemia. Symptoms of Hereditary Spherocytosis can vary from mild to severe, including fatigue, jaundice, and spleen enlargement. This condition is caused by mutations affecting RBC membrane proteins, commonly involving ankyrin. Diagnosis includes clinical evaluations and genetic tests. Treatments for Hereditary Spherocytosis may involve supportive care and possibly surgery. Research is ongoing to develop improved treatments and explore potential cures for Hereditary Spherocytosis .
