2019-05-13
Abstract excerpt
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired hematopoietic stem cell disorder characterized by complement-mediated hemolysis and thrombosis, and bone marrow failure. Affected cells harbor somatic mutation in X-linked PIGA gene, essential for the initial step in glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) biosynthesis.
