The purpose of these studies was to determine the molecular basis of the phenotypic mosaicism that is a defining feature of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Analysis of T cell clones from a female patient revealed four distinct phenotypes based on surface expression of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins (GPI-AP). When PIG-A (the gene that is mutant in PNH) from these clones was analyzed, four discrete somatic mutations were identified. Analysis of X chromosomal inactivation among the abnormal T cell clones was consistent with polyclonality. Together, these studies demonstrate that the phenotypic mosaicism that is characteristic of PNH is a consequence of genotypic mosaicism and that, at least in this case, PNH is a polyclonal rather than a monoclonal disease. That four distinct somatic mutations were present in a single patient suggests that in conditions that predispose to PNH PIG-A may be hypermutable.

D009030 Mosaicism The occurrence in an individual of two or more cell populations of different chromosomal constitutions, derived from a single ZYGOTE, as opposed to CHIMERISM in which the different cell populations are derived from more than one zygote.
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D010641 Phenotype The outward appearance of the individual. It is the product of interactions between genes, and between the GENOTYPE and the environment. Phenotypes
D002999 Clone Cells A group of genetically identical cells all descended from a single common ancestral cell by mitosis in eukaryotes or by binary fission in prokaryotes. Clone cells also include populations of recombinant DNA molecules all carrying the same inserted sequence.

D004303 Dosage Compensation, Genetic Genetic mechanisms that allow GENES to be expressed at a similar level irrespective of their GENE DOSAGE. This term is usually used in discussing genes that lie on the SEX CHROMOSOMES. Because the sex chromosomes are only partially homologous, there is a different copy number, i.e., dosage, of these genes in males vs. females. In DROSOPHILA, dosage compensation is accomplished by hypertranscription of genes located on the X CHROMOSOME. In mammals, dosage compensation of X chromosome genes is accomplished by random X CHROMOSOME INACTIVATION of one of the two X chromosomes in the female.

D006457 Hemoglobinuria, Paroxysmal A condition characterized by the recurrence of HEMOGLOBINURIA caused by intravascular HEMOLYSIS. In cases occurring upon cold exposure (paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria), usually after infections, there is a circulating antibody which is also a cold hemolysin. In cases occurring during or after sleep (paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria), the clonal hematopoietic stem cells exhibit a global deficiency of cell membrane proteins.
