Write answer in between .Q:A 6-year-old girl comes with her parents to the physicians office to initiate care with a new physician. The patient was recently adopted and her parents do not know her birth history; however, she has had some issues with fatigue. They were told by the adoption agency that the patient has required blood transfusions for low blood count in the past but they are not aware of the reason for these transfusions. Her temperature is 37.8C 99.8F, blood pressure is 11084 mmHg, and pulse is 95min. Physical examination is notable for conjunctival pallor, pale skin, and mild splenomegaly. A complete blood count is taken in the office with the following results:Hemoglobin: 6.8 gdLLeukocyte count: 5,000mm3Platelet count: 190,000mm3Peripheral smear shows echinocytes and further analysis reveals rigid red blood cells. The most likely cause of this patients symptoms has which of the following modes of inheritance?? A: Autosomal recessive, B: Autosomal dominant, C: X-linked dominant, D: X-linked recessive, E: Mitochondrial inheritance,  <response>: This is a question about identifying the mode of inheritance for a likely genetic disorder based on clinical findings. The key findings are chronic anemia requiring transfusions, pallor, splenomegaly, low hemoglobin, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and rigid red blood cells on peripheral smear. This constellation of findings is most consistent with hereditary spherocytosis, an autosomal dominant disorder that leads to hemolytic anemia due to defects in red blood cell cytoskeletal proteins. A: Autosomal recessive
