A Chinese pediatric patient with thalassemia traits and compound heterozygous mutations in the <i>PIEZO1 g</i> ene suspected of having dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis
Compared to patients with either DHS/HX or β-thalassemia alone, this patient, as a β-thalassemia carrier with suspected Dehydrated Hereditary Stomatocytosis, exhibited highly complex laboratory findings. Genetic testing played a crucial role in diagnosing conditions with overlapping clinical features. Given the increased risk of thromboembolic complications, splenectomy is contraindicated in DHS/HX patients, highlighting the necessity for precise diagnosis of DHS/HX and molecular confirmation of suspected hereditary red blood cell disorders.
