Abstract excerpt
The hereditary stomatocytoses are a group of heterogeneous conditions associated with chronic red cell hemolysis for which the causative genetic mutations are not known. We investigated 137 members of a large Canadian kindred with phenotypic findings consistent with hereditary xerocytosis, one of the most common stomatocytosis syndromes. The objectives of this study were to characterize the clinical hallmarks of...
