Résumé

Erythrocytosis is associated with increased red blood cell mass and can be either congenital or acquired. Congenital secondary causes are rare and include germline variants increasing haemoglobin (Hb)-oxygen affinity (e.g., Hb or bisphosphoglycerate mutase (BPGM) variants) or affecting oxygen-sensing pathway proteins. Here, we describe five adults from three kindreds with erythrocytosis associated with heterozygosity for BPGM variants, including one novel. Functional analyses showed partial BPGM deficiency, reduced 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate levels and/or increased Hb-oxygen affinity. We also review currently known BPGM variants. This study contributes to raising awareness of BPGM variants, and in particular that heterozygosity for BPGM deficiency may already manifest clinically.
