Core Tip	The patient was a 1-year and 5-month-old child with hereditary spherocytosis (HS) whose diagnosis was confirmed by genetic testing. The patient had complex heterozygous mutations in ANK1 and SPTA1 that have not been previously reported. Combined with the relevant clinical manifestations in the children, it is suggested that the newly discovered complex heterozygous mutation of ANK1 gene and SPTA1 gene may be the cause of this disease and provide more molecular genetic information revealing the pathogenesis of HS in children. In addition, we hope to promote the application of genetic testing technology in children with HS and provide guidance for its diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
