Ds. Innes et al., Exclusion of the stomatin, alpha-adducin and beta-adducin loci in a large kindred with dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis, AM J HEMAT, 60(1), 1999, pp. 72-74
Defects in stomatin, alpha-adducin, and beta-adducin have been implicated i
n erythrocyte disorders of cation permeability. We performed linkage analys
is of the genetic loci for these proteins in a large kindred with xerocytos
is (dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis). Using polymerase chain reaction-
based genotyping techniques, all three loci are excluded as disease gene ca
ndidates. (C) 1999 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
