Abstract excerpt
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired hemolytic anemia characterized by the presence of abnormal subpopulations of blood cells that are deficient in surface expression of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins. Recent studies showed that the gene termed PIG-A, which participates in the first step of GPI-anchor biosynthesis, is mutated in the abnormal blood cells from patients with...
