| Research Abstract |
The following results were obtained for the recent two years (1995-1997) :
1. Hereditary spherocytosis :
(1) Ankyrin/spectrin anomalies appeared to be much less frequent in Japan, compared with those in Western countries.
(2) Four mutations in the band 3 gene in 50 HS patients and 11 polymorphism and one mutation in the ankyrin gene were detected in 50 normal subjects and 20 HS patients.
(3) A trait of HS carried a chromosomal anomaly of 8p.
2. Band 4.2 :
(1) Two novel mutations with complete band 4.2 deficiency were detected : (1) allele 4.2 Komatsu (523GAT*TAT) and allele 4.2 Shiga (317CGC*TGC).
(2) Marked derangements were observed on the intramembrane particles and the cytoskeletal network in the complete band 4.2 deficiencies by electron microscopy.
(3) Band 4.2 was proved to have a direct binding to spectrins.
(4) The pathogenesis of band 4.2 doublet Nagano was studied by biochemistry and molecular biology.
3. Band 3 :
(1) Complete band 3 deficiency was described as the first case in the world.
(2) Phenotypic characteristics were reported in homozygotes of band 3 Fukuoka.
(3) A combined deficiency of band 3 and glycophorin A was found as a membrane glycoprotein anomaly.
(4) Four novel mutations of band 3 gene were detected in band 3 Okinawa.
4. Morphogenesis of red cell membranes :
It was shown that the expression of membrane proteins in erythroid differentiation was initiated in spectrins, glycophorins and band 3, followed by band 4.1 and ankyrin, and completed by the expression of band 4.2 at the last stage of the differentiation.
5. Hereditary elliptocytosis :
(1) The gene defect was identified in beta-spectrin Natoya.
(2) Marked derangement of the intramembrane particles and the cytoskeletal network was observed by electron microscopy in red cells of the complete band 4.1 deficiency (allele 4.1 (-) Madrid).
