Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria due to hereditary nucleotide deletion in the HRF20 (CD59) gene
1 Oct 1992
Abstract excerpt
HRF20 (CD59) is a membrane glycoprotein which protects cells from the membrane attack reaction of homologous complement. A patient who is completely deficient in HRF20 expression and is suffering from paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) was studied. His parents are cousins and both have decreased HRF20 expression, suggesting that the deficiency is genetic. We established a cultured cell line (NCU1) which is...
