Advancements in sequencing technology have enabled the identification of a growing number of mutation sites associated with HS. This study analyzed the clinical characteristics and gene mutations of HS in our center.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Retrospective collection of data on 59 Chinese pediatric patients with HS admitted to the Hematology Department of Chongqing Medical University Affiliated Children's Hospital from 2013 to 2022. Second\u2010generation gene sequencing was performed on participants, with verification of detected variants using Sanger sequencing.

The age of onset ranged from 0 to 180\u2009months, with a median age of 60\u2009months. Our study found that\n                      <jats:italic>ANK1<\/jats:italic>\n                      and\n                      <jats:italic>SPTB<\/jats:italic>\n                      gene mutations were the primary causes of HS, with missense and frameshift mutations being the most common. De novo mutations were present in 37 (62.7%) patients, while the remaining mutations were inherited. We noted a higher proportion of females (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.032) and lower total bilirubin levels (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.014) in patients with multiple gene mutations.

Additionally, there were significant differences in mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) between different mutation types (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.036), indicating lower MCHC levels in the missense mutation group.
