Clinical Information
The etiology of congenital (inherited) erythrocytosis can be due to one of several abnormalities. This includes high oxygen affinity hemoglobin variants, genetic variants in the erythropoietin receptor gene, genetic variants in the genes involved in the oxygen-sensing pathway (PHD2/EGLN1, HIF2A/EPAS1, VHL) or BPGM variants causing 2,3-BPG (2,3-bisphosphoglycerate) deficiency. To determine the underlying abnormality frequently requires molecular testing. A summary interpretation that incorporates all testing performed is beneficial to the ordering clinician.
