Abstract excerpt
Patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) have one or a few clones of mutant hematopoietic stem cells defective in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) synthesis as a result of somatic mutation in the X-linked gene PIG-A. The mutant stem cell clone dominates hematopoiesis by a mechanism that is unclear. To test whether a lack of multiple GPI-anchored proteins results in dysregulation and expansion of...
