Point mutations causing the McLeod phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The McLeod phenotype is defined by absence of Kx, weakening of Kell system antigens, and acanthocytosis. Individuals with the McLeod phenotype usually develop late-onset neuromuscular abnormalities. Gene deletions, insertions, and point mutations that affect RNA splicing or that lead to premature stop codons have been reported to cause the McLeod phenotype. The McLeod phenotype may also be caused by...
