Abstract

Hereditary red cell enzyme disorders are a group of non-immune/non-spherocytic hemolytic anaemia. It occurs due to defect in the genes encoding red blood cell enzymes. Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is the most common enzyme deficiency. However there are number of other enzyme defect, leading to non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia of variable severity. We describe a series of 4 children with rare RBC ezymopathies.
