Abstract excerpt
An alpha-spectrin variant with increased susceptibility to tryptic digestion, alpha(II/47), was previously observed in a child with severe, recessively inherited, poikilocytic anemia. The molecular basis of this variant, spectrin St Claude, has now been identified as a splicing mutation of the alpha-spectrin gene due to a T --> G mutation in the 3' acceptor splice site of exon 20. This polypyrimidine tract...
