Familial polycythemia is a rare hereditary polycythemia caused by congenital high-oxygen-affinity hemoglobin variants (reduced P50, tissue hypoxia drives erythropoietin) or by erythropoietin-receptor mutations causing constitutive JAK-STAT activation. RBC count and hemoglobin are elevated without major symptoms; prognosis generally good.
Plethora; ruddy complexion; headache; asymptomatic in many
Inherited high-affinity hemoglobin (Hb Chesapeake etc.) or EPOR gain-of-function mutation causes increased erythropoiesis independent of physiologic feedback.
Observation; phlebotomy if symptomatic; avoid iron deficiency
