Genetic causes of undiagnosed hemolytic anemia in nineteen patients were analyzed by whole-exome sequencing, and novel COL4A1 variants were identified in four patients (21%). All patients were complicated with congenital malformations of the brain, such as porencephaly or schizencephaly. In these patients, hemolysis became less severe within 2 months after birth, and red cell transfusion was no longer required after 50 days, whereas chronic hemolysis continued.
通过全外显子组测序分析了19例未确诊溶血性贫血患者的遗传病因,在4例患者(21%)中鉴定出了新的COL4A1变异。所有患者均合并脑先天性畸形,如脑穿通畸形或脑裂畸形。在这些患者中,出生后2个月内溶血症状减轻,50天后不再需要红细胞输血,但慢性溶血仍持续存在。
