Erythrocyte ankyrin promoter mutations associated with recessive hereditary spherocytosis cause significant abnormalities in ankyrin expression.
Ankyrin defects are the most common cause of hereditary spherocytosis (HS). In several kindreds with recessive, ankyrin-deficient HS, mutations have been identified in the ankyrin promoter that have been proposed to decrease ankyrin synthesis. We analyzed the effects of two mutations, -108T to C and -108T to C in cis with -153G to A, on ankyrin expression. No difference between wild type and mu...
متن کاملHereditary spherocytosis.
Hereditary spherocytosis is a common inherited disorder that is characterised by anaemia, jaundice, and splenomegaly. It is reported worldwide and is the most common inherited anaemia in individuals of northern European ancestry. Clinical severity is variable with most patients having a well-compensated haemolytic anaemia. Some individuals are asymptomatic, whereas others have severe haemolytic...
متن کاملHereditary spherocytosis.
Hereditary spherocytosis is a congenital haemolytic anaemia due to defect in spectrin-a RBC membrane protein and is transmitted as autosomal dominant. Due to this defect there is presence of characteristic spherical cell in peripheral blood smear and osmotic fragility is increased. Haemolytic anaemia, reticulocytosis, jaundice and splenomegaly are present. This article reports a case of a 9 yea...
متن کاملHereditary Spherocytosis
A 12-year-old girl was brought to the Dhaka Hospital of ICDDR,B with diarrhoea. Incidentally, the parents provided a history of repeated episodes of pallor and jaundice since she was two and half years old. Three of her family members had similar problems. History, clinical examination, and laboratory findings of the girl and her family members suggested a case of hereditary spherocytosis. To o...
متن کاملMolecular basis of spectrin and ankyrin deficiencies in severe hereditary spherocytosis: evidence implicating a primary defect of ankyrin.
While varying degrees of spectrin deficiency have been found in the majority of patients with hereditary spherocytosis (HS), a combined severe deficiency of both spectrin and the spectrin-binding protein, ankyrin, has been reported only in two patients with severe HS. To elucidate the molecular basis of these protein deficiencies, we have studied the synthesis, assembly, and the mRNA levels of ...
