Background: Hereditary hemolytic anemia (HHA) is defined as a group of heterogeneous and rare diseases caused by defects of red blood cell (RBC) metabolism and RBC membrane, which leads to lysis or premature clearance. The aim of this study was to investigate individuals with HHA for potential disease-causing variants in 33 genes reported to be associated with HHA. Methods: A total of 14 independent individuals or families diagnosed with suspected HHA, and in particular, RBC membranopathy, RBC enzymopathy, and hemoglobinopathy, were collected after routine peripheral blood smear testing. A custom designed panel, including the 33 genes, was performed using gene panel sequencing on the Ion Torrent PGM™ Dx System. The best candidate disease-causing variants were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Results: Several variants of the HHA-associated genes were detected in 10 out of 14 suspected HHA individuals. After excluding those variants predicted to be benign, 10 pathogenic variants and 1 variant of uncertain significance (VUS) were confirmed in 10 individuals with suspected HHA. Of these variants, the p.Trp704Ter nonsense variant of EPB41 and missense p.Gly151Asp variant of SPTA1 were identified in two out of four hereditary elliptocytoses. The frameshift p.Leu884GlyfsTer27 variant of ANK1, nonsense p.Trp652Ter variant of the SPTB, and missense p.Arg490Trp variant of PKLR were detected in all four hereditary spherocytosis cases. Missense p.Glu27Lys, nonsense p.Lys18Ter variants, and splicing errors such as c.92 + 1G > T and c.315 + 1G > A within HBB were identified in four beta thalassemia cases. Conclusions: This study provides a snapshot of the genetic alterations in a cohort of Korean HHA individuals and demonstrates the clinical utility of using gene panels in HHA. Genetic results can provide precise clinical diagnosis and guidance regarding medical treatment and management for some individuals. |
