Abstract excerpt
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired clonal defect of hematopoietic stem cells in which affected cells are characterized by the lack of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins. The lesion in PNH lies in the defective synthesis of N-acetyl-D-glucosaminyl-phosphatidylinositol (GlcNAc-Pl), the first intermediate in GPI biosynthesis. Reintroduction of the PIG-A gene into GPI(-)...
