Abstract excerpt
Many cases of hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) result from mutated spectrin alpha-chains. It has repeatedly been observed that the amount of a mutant alpha-chain is different in various affected individuals, resulting in clinical pictures of variable severity. The different levels are thought to re...
