Cause of Hereditary spherocytosis

Cause of Hereditary spherocytosis

HS is caused by changes (mutations) in five different genes that code for proteins that are part of the membrane of red blood cells. These genes are ANK1, SLC4A1, SPTA1, SPTB, and EPB42. HS is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner 75% of the time and an autosomal recessive manner 25% of the time.
