abnormal erythrocyte morphology ( J:94421 )

• erythrocytes exhibit a half-life of 12 days, compared to 22 days of cells from wild-type littermates

decreased hematocrit ( J:94421 )

• hematocrit is reduced to 48.7% from 55.8% in wild-type

abnormal hemoglobin ( J:94421 )

abnormal hemoglobin content ( J:94421 )

increased hemoglobin concentration distribution width ( J:94421 )

• variation in hemoglobin content of mutant erythrocytes, evidenced by increased hemoglobin distribution width (HDW), is observed

decreased mean corpuscular hemoglobin ( J:94421 )

decreased mean corpuscular volume ( J:94421 )

• mice have small red blood cells with low mean corpuscular hemoglobin (13.6 pg vs 16.2 pg in wild-type)

increased red blood cell distribution width ( J:94421 )

• significant variation in size of erythrocytes as shown by increased red blood cell distribution width (RBW)

acanthocytosis ( J:94421 )

• spiculated red blood cells can be seen in blood smears

anisopoikilocytosis ( J:94421 )

• blood smears show morphologic abnormalities such as irregular size and shape

increased number of Heinz bodies ( J:94421 )

• some erythrocytes have inclusion bodies composed of denatured hemoglobin chains (Heinz bodies)

leptocytosis ( J:94421 )

• target red blood cells (codocytes) can be seen in blood smears

polychromatophilia ( J:94421 )

• large inclusions are present only in polychromatophilic cells, suggesting accelerated erythrocyte destruction

reticulocytosis ( J:94421 )

• reticulocyte count is elevated (to 4.4% from 2.2% in wild-type)

cellular

increased cellular sensitivity to oxidative stress ( J:94421 )

• mutants show a larger decrease in hematocrit after phenylhydrazine treatment resulting from hemolytic anemia compared to control littermates

oxidative stress ( J:94421 )

• mutant erythrocytes display intrinsically elevated oxidative stress

• mice have increased levels of reactive oxygen species catalyzed by alpha-hemoglobin

immune system

enlarged spleen ( J:94421 )

• spleen is significantly enlarged

growth/size/body

enlarged spleen ( J:94421 )

• spleen is significantly enlarged
