A new exon 12 mutation in the EPAS1 gene possibly associated with erythrocytosis

Schelker, Roland Christian ; Herr, Wolfgang ; Grassinger, Jochen



Zusammenfassung

In secondary erythrocytosis, the elevated red cell count is powered by factors outside the erythroid compartment, for instance by raised erythropoietin (EPO) synthesis based on congenital defects of the oxygen-sensing pathway. The principal transcriptional regulator of EPO synthesis is endothelial PAS domain-containing protein 1 (EPAS 1). We present here the first report of a patient with ...
