Erythropoietin Polycythemia
Polycythemia that is caused by excess erythropoietin.
Also known as
polycythaemia due to Excess erythropoetin production; polycythemia due to excess erythopoetin production
Condition report · Hematological
Familial Polycythemia
A condition characterized by an abnormally high concentration of red blood cells in the blood, leading to increased blood viscosity and potentially various health complications.
A condition report looks for rare variants known to cause the conditions it covers.

Primary Familial Polycythemia Due To Epo Receptor Mutation
Autosomal dominant
Primary familial polycythemia is an inherited hematological disorder resulting from mutations in the erythropoietin (EPO) receptor and is characterized by an elevated absolute red blood cell mass caused by uncontrolled red blood cell production in the presence of low EPO levels.

Chuvash Polycythemia
Autosomal recessive
Chuvash erythrocytosis is a rare, genetic, congenital secondary polycythemia disorder characterized by increased hemoglobin, hematocrit and erythropoietin serum levels and normal oxygen affinity, which usually manifests with headache, dizziness, dyspnea and/or plethora. Patients present an increased risk of hemorrhage, thrombosis and early death.

ECYT2; erythrocytosis, familial, 2; erythrocytosis, familial, type 2; familial polycythemia caused by mutation in VHL; VHL familial polycythemia; Von Hippel-Lindau-dependent polycythemia
Familial Erythrocytosis 3 (EGLN1)
Autosomal dominant
A dominant form of inherited erythrocytosis caused by changes in EGLN1 that disturb the body's oxygen-sensing pathway and increase red cell production.
What a diagnosis changes
Knowing the inherited cause avoids it being mistaken for polycythaemia vera or other acquired causes, and spares unnecessary investigations.
Genes analysed
Also known as
ECYT3; EGLN1 familial polycythemia; erythrocytosis, familial, type 3; familial polycythemia caused by mutation in EGLN1
Familial Erythrocytosis 4 (EPAS1)
Autosomal dominant
A dominant form of inherited erythrocytosis caused by gain-of-function changes in EPAS1 (HIF-2 alpha) that increase red cell production.
What a diagnosis changes
Knowing the inherited cause avoids it being mistaken for polycythaemia vera or other acquired causes, and spares unnecessary investigations.
Genes analysed
Also known as
ECYT4; EPAS1 familial polycythemia; erythrocytosis, familial, type 4; familial polycythemia caused by mutation in EPAS1
Familial Erythrocytosis 5 (EPO)
Autosomal dominant
A dominant form of inherited erythrocytosis caused by changes in the EPO gene that increase production of the hormone erythropoietin.
What a diagnosis changes
Knowing the inherited cause avoids it being mistaken for polycythaemia vera or other acquired causes, and spares unnecessary investigations.
Genes analysed
Also known as
ECYT5; EPO familial polycythemia; familial polycythemia caused by mutation in EPO
Familial Erythrocytosis 6 (High-Oxygen-Affinity Haemoglobin, HBB)
Autosomal dominant
A dominant form of inherited erythrocytosis caused by beta-globin variants that make haemoglobin hold on to oxygen too tightly, so the body makes more red cells to compensate.
What a diagnosis changes
Knowing the inherited cause avoids it being mistaken for polycythaemia vera or other acquired causes, and spares unnecessary investigations.
Genes analysed
Also known as
ECYT6; erythrocytosis 6
Familial Erythrocytosis 7 (High-Oxygen-Affinity Haemoglobin, HBA1/HBA2)
Autosomal dominant
A dominant form of inherited erythrocytosis caused by alpha-globin variants that make haemoglobin hold on to oxygen too tightly, so the body makes more red cells to compensate.
What a diagnosis changes
Knowing the inherited cause avoids it being mistaken for polycythaemia vera or other acquired causes, and spares unnecessary investigations.
