ANK1 gene is responsible for the production of the protein called ankyrin-1. The ankyrin-1 protein gives the red blood cells the flexibility to pass through the narrow blood vessels. The shortage of this protein along with another protein called spectrin causes the blood cells to be misshapen. These defective blood cells are removed from the circulatory system and are transferred to the spleen for destruction. Which of the following is a consequence of ANK1 gene mutation?
