Evidence for linkage of red blood cell size and count: Genome‐wide scans in the Framingham Heart Study
8 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Red blood cell (RBC) count and size are major criteria for evaluating anemia and related hematology disease diagnoses. While environmental factors influence RBC count (RBCC) and size, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), studies have indicated that each of these measures has a substantial genetic component. So far, no linkage analysis or genome scan has been reported. We carried...
