Abstract excerpt
Paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired haemolytic disorder caused by deficient biosynthesis of the glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor in haemopoietic stem cells. PIG-A, an X-linked gene that participates in the first step of GPI-anchor synthesis, is responsible for PNH....
