Abstract
Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) and distal renal tubular acidosis (dRTA), although distinct
entities, share the same protein i.e. the anion exchanger1 (AE1) protein. Despite this, their
coexistence has been rarely reported. We hereby describe the largest family to date with coexistence
of dRTA and HS and discuss the molecular basis for the co-inheritance of these
conditions.
