Abstract excerpt
We report three novel variants of band 3 associated with hereditary spherocytosis: band 3 Foggia (311delC; ACCCAC-->ACCAC), band 3 Napoli I (447insT; TCT-->TTCT) and band 3 Napoli II (1783N; ATC-->AAC). The first two mutations resulted in premature termination of translation, making one haploid s...
