Literature review on genotype-phenotype correlation in patients with hereditary spherocytosis

Liqing Yang et al. Clin Genet. 2022 Dec.

Abstract

Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a prevalent inherited hemolytic disorder primarily reported in Caucasians. Recently, next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques have shown tremendous potential in the diagnosis of HS. HS commonly originates from variants in ANK1, SPTB, SLC4A1, SPTA1, and EPB42. This review is focused on 13 previous clinical studies on genotype-phenotype correlation, which might promote the role of causative variants in the diagnosis and prognosis of HS. Most studies have focused on the pediatric population and Asian countries. The occurrence of novel variants was common in each cohort, and variants with a high frequency of causative genes were demonstrated. In conclusion, patients with variants in SPTA1 and SLC4A1 were reported to have more severe and milder anemia, respectively. ANK1 and SPTB are the most common variants in patients with HS, and no significant difference in phenotypes was observed between patients with variants in ANK1 versus SPTB. The types and locations of variants might influence the phenotype of each genotype, whereas the roles of concomitant pathogenic genes and the source of variants deserve further investigation.

Keywords: genotype; hereditary spherocytosis; next-generation sequencing; phenotype; variant.
