Cytopenias and congenital anaemias
Gene: XK
Several publications including those given above regarding this well characterised link between XK gene and McLeod syndrome in many patients. Phenotype is acanthosis, haemolysis and elevated CK. Neurological phenotype (from OMIM) "Onset of neurologic symptoms ranges between 25 and 60 years (mean onset 30-40 years), and penetrance appears to be high. Additional symptoms include generalized seizures, neuromuscular symptoms leading to weakness and atrophy, and cardiomyopathy mainly manifesting with atrial fibrillation, malignant arrhythmias, and dilated cardiomyopathy"
Testing not currently offered by UK labs but several accredited European laboratories are offering testing
