Abstract
We conclude that serum GPCA is the major factor that causes vitamin B12 deficiency, macrocytosis and pernicious anemia in GPCA+/EOLP patients. Approximately 29-32% GPCA-positive EOLP patients have vitamin B12 deficiency or macrocytosis and about 23-25% vitamin B12 deficiency or macrocytosis EOLP patients have pernicious anemia. ELOP itself does play a significant role in causing anemia and hematinic deficiencies in Absâ/EOLP patients.
