Abstract excerpt
Erythrocyte-based PIG-A assay is sensitive and reliable in detecting exposure to mutagenetic agents in animal studies, but there are few data from human populations. In this study, we employed a method for detecting CD59 phenotypic variants, resulting from mutation in the PIG-A gene, in human red blood cells (RBCs), and determined the CD59-deficient RBC (RBCCD59- ) frequencies in 217 subjects from general...
