Anemia; jaundice; splenomegaly
Caused by inherited RBC-membrane cytoskeletal defects (spectrin, protein 4.1, glycophorin C) leading to elliptical RBC shape, reduced deformability and splenic hemolysis.
Supportive therapy; splenectomy in symptomatic cases
Genetic counseling; most carriers are asymptomatic; splenectomy for clinically significant hemolysis.
