“…2 OHSt is an autosomal dominant condition caused by heterozygous mutations in genes encoding membrane transporters such as RHAG, SLC4A1, and SLC2A1. [3][4][5] In OHSt, there is an increased permeability of the erythrocyte membrane to monovalent cations, leading to elevated intracellular Na + concentration, reduced K + concentration, and subsequent water influx into the cells. 6 These cellular changes ultimately result in increased osmotic fragility of erythrocytes and their premature destruction within the spleen.…”

BackgroundOverhydrated hereditary stomatocytosis (OHSt) is a rare disorder characterized by abnormalities in erythrocytic volume homeostasis. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate management and genetic counseling.MethodsWe present the case of a child with beta‐thalassemia and a history of multiple blood transfusions. Clinical presentation, laboratory findings, and genetic testing were reviewed. Peripheral blood smear examination and genetic analysis were performed.ResultsThe patient was admitted with severe anemia, and peripheral blood smear examination revealed the presence of up to 50% stomatocytes. Laboratory investigations showed abnormalities in red blood cell parameters, including decreased hemoglobin levels and increased mean corpuscular volume. Genetic testing identified a heterozygous mutation in the RHAG gene, confirming the diagnosis of OHSt. The presence of stomatocytes in the peripheral blood smear was transient, correlating with episodes of hemolysis and its control.
