Overview

Historical Perspective

RBC anomaly in Hereditary elliptocytosis was first observed in 1860 by Goltz,[1]

and Elliptocytosis, elliptical shape of RBCs was described in 1904 by Dresbach.[2]Bishop recognized the familial inheritance as autosomal dominant of HE in 1914 and Hunter and Adams affirmed it's hereditary condition in 1929. [1] Recent studies demonstrate that, the severity of symptoms in patients with Hereditary elliptocytosis is variable and it can be related to genetic variations. [3]
