Abstract excerpt
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired blood disorder thought to result from a somatic mutation in a hemopoietic stem cell. PNH may evolve to aplastic anemia or to acute leukemia. PNH cells are deficient in proteins attached to the cell membrane via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol structure, called the GPI anchor, and the primary lesion in PNH is thought to be a defect in the biosynthesis of the...
