Hereditary elliptocytosis: spectrin and protein 4.1R.

Seminars in hematology - 1 Apr 2004

Gallagher Patrick G

Abstract excerpt

Hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) is a common disorder of erythrocyte shape, occurring especially in individuals of African and Mediterranean ancestry, presumably because elliptocytes confer some resistance to malaria. The principle lesion in HE is mechanical weakness or fragility of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton due to defects in alpha-spectrin, beta-spectrin, or protein 4.1. Numerous mutations have been...
