Mcleod Syndrome; Mclds

Description

Hematologically, McLeod syndrome is characterized by the absence of red blood cell Kx antigen, weak expression of Kell red blood cell antigens, acanthocytosis, and compensated hemolysis. Most carriers of this McLeod blood group phenotype have acanthocytosis and elevated serum creatine kinase levels and are prone to develop a severe neurologic disorder resembling Huntington disease (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 (summary by Jung et al., 2007).The cooccurrence of McLeod syndrome and chronic granulomatous disease (CGD ) results from a contiguous gene deletion (Francke et al., 1985).
