Human Gene Set: HP_DECREASED_MEAN_CORPUSCULAR_HEMOGLOBIN_CONCENTRATION


Standard name HP_DECREASED_MEAN_CORPUSCULAR_HEMOGLOBIN_CONCENTRATION
Systematic name M38296
Brief description Decreased mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration
Full description or abstract A reduction from the normal range of the average amount of hemoglobin per red blood cell (27 to 31 picograms/cell). A reduced mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) may indicate a hypochromic anemia, but the MCH may be normal if both the total hemoglobin and the red blood cell count are reduced. []
