Abstract excerpt
The genetic disorders of the red cell skeleton encompass hereditary spherocytosis, hereditary elliptocytosis and an array of ill-defined haemolytic anaemias. Protein chemistry and molecular genetics have illuminated the supramolecular arrangement of the skeleton, the sequence and three-dimensional structure of its protein components, the exon-intron organization of the corresponding genes, the complex splicing...
