Abstract excerpt
Ankyrin defects are the most common cause of hereditary spherocytosis (HS). In several kindreds with recessive, ankyrin-deficient HS, mutations have been identified in the ankyrin promoter that have been proposed to decrease ankyrin synthesis. We analyzed the effects of two mutations, -108T to C and -108T to C in cis with -153G to A, on ankyrin expression. No difference between wild type and mutant promoters was...
