Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Protein 4.2 deficiency caused by mutations in the EPB42 gene results in hereditary spherocytosis with characteristic alterations of CD47, CD44 and RhAG. We decided to investigate at which stage of erythropoiesis these hallmarks of protein 4.2 deficiency arise in a novel protein 4.2 patient and whether they cause disruption to the band 3 macrocomplex. DESIGN AND METHODS: We used immunoprecipitations...
