Abstract

Abstract: We describe, to our knowledge, the first case of nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyl transferase 3 (NMNAT3) deficiency, a novel red cell enzymopathy that causes reduced NAD levels and mild hemolytic anemia, which improved upon NAD precursor supplementation. We therefore propose testing for NMNAT3 variants in unexplained hereditary hemolytic anemia.
