Abstract excerpt
We report a new mutation responsible for nonhemolytic hereditary elliptocytosis (HE). The proband displayed an impaired spectrin self-association and an increase of the alpha I 74-kD fragment (alpha I/74 abnormality). The responsible mutation occurred in exon 2 of spectrin alpha-gene: alpha 34 Arg-->Trp (CGG-->TGG), defining spectrin Genova. In Trans to allele alpha Genova, the proband disclosed allele alpha...
