Erythrocytosis is a condition with an excessive number of erythrocytes, accompanied by an elevated haemoglobin and/or haematocrit value. Congenital erythrocytosis has a diverse genetic background with several genes involved in erythropoiesis. In clinical practice, nine genes are usually examined, but in approximately 70% of patients, no causative mutation can be identified. In this study, we screened 39 genes, aiming to identify potential disease‐driving variants in the family with erythrocytosis of unknown cause.
