Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the frequency of de novo monoallelic expression of the ANK1 gene in hereditary spherocytosis individuals appearing as recessive. STUDY DESIGN: We studied 40 unrelated children with spherocytosis and their normal parents. The genomic distribution of the ankyrin (AC)n dinucleotide repeats was evaluated in the patients showing combined ankyrin and spectrin deficiency. To search for the absence...
