Specific defect in N-acetylglucosamine incorporation in the biosynthesis of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor in cloned cell lines from patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a clonal disorder arising in a multipotent hemopoietic stem cell. PNH manifests clinically with intravascular hemolysis resulting from an increased sensitivity of the red cells belonging to the PNH clone to complement-mediated lysis. Numerous studies have...
