Abstract excerpt
The jaundiced, ja/ja, mouse mutant has a severe hemolytic anemia associated with a deficiency of beta-spectrin in erythrocyte ghosts. Genes for the disease phenotype and beta-spectrin colocalize on Chromosome 12. beta-Spectrin mRNA is not detected in reticulocytes or in brain from newborn mutant mice. To locate the nucleotide sequence alteration, the erythroid beta-spectrin transcript from mutant spleen was...
