We report a detailed longitudinal study of the first patient to be treated (in 1973) for paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) with syngeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The patient subsequently relapsed with PNH in 1983, and still has PNH to date. Analysis of the PIG-A gene in a recen...
