Abstract excerpt
The alpha 207 Leu-->Pro mutation in spectrin has recently been identified as a cause of alpha I/50-46a hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) or pyropoikilocytosis among Black people. We have found this mutation in a Moroccan family in both the heterozygous and homozygous states. The mutated alpha-spectrin allele carried, in cis, the alpha V/41 polymorphism, a common polymorphism altering the peptide maps and associated...
