Additional Information:
Description: (OMIM) |
Familial erythrocytosis-2 is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by increased red blood cell mass, increased serum levels of erythropoietin (EPO; 133170), and normal oxygen affinity. Patients with ECYT2 carry a high risk for peripheral thrombosis and cerebrovascular events ... |
Clinical Description OMIM |
Nadler and Cohn (1939) described a family in which 4 of 11 children showed polycythemia. The mother stated that these 4 children had red faces from the time of birth. Auerbach et al. (1958) reported 3 families. In ... |
Molecular genetics OMIM |
In patients with Chuvash polycythemia, Ang et al. (2002) identified a homozygous mutation in the VHL gene (R200W; 608537.0019). The VHL protein downregulates HIF1A (603348), the main regulator of adaptation to hypoxia, by targeting the protein for degradation. ... |
Population genetics OMIM |
By haplotype analysis of 101 ethnically diverse individuals with the common R200W mutation in the VHL gene, including 72 Chuvash individuals, Liu et al. (2004) determined that the R200W mutation is due to a founder effect that originated ... |
