A mutation in the Gardos channel is associated with hereditary xerocytosis The Gardos channel is a Ca2+-sensitive potassium channel that is widely expressed in tissues and cells, including erythrocytes. It has been widely studied as a potential regulator of cell volume that may be important in hemoglobinopathies. Dr. Badens discusses her team’s Blood article, “A mutation in the Gardos channel is associated with hereditary xerocytosis,” which confirms the importance of the Gardos channel in maintaining erythrocyte hydration, and the authors also offer a potential clinical entry point for treatment of this rare syndrome. http://www.bloodjournal.org/content/126/11/1273
