Gene analysis in hemolytic anemia has been reported recently. It is now recognized that inherited molecular defects of red blood cell membrane proteins have at least five phenotypes. The recent cloning of the G-6-PD gene has given us an entirely new perspective on the population genetics of G-6-PD deficiency and provided new and useful diagnostic tools. Prenatal diagnosis of thalassemia has been possible. Deficiency of the GPI anchor protein may be caused by a somatic mutation of the PIG-A gene in paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D011770	Pyruvate Kinase	ATP:pyruvate 2-O-phosphotransferase. A phosphotransferase that catalyzes reversibly the phosphorylation of pyruvate to phosphoenolpyruvate in the presence of ATP. It has four isozymes (L, R, M1, and M2). Deficiency of the enzyme results in hemolytic anemia. EC 2.7.1.40.

D012150	Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length	Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.	RFLP,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism,RFLPs,Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphisms
D003001	Cloning, Molecular	The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells.	Molecular Cloning
D005955	Glucosephosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency	A disease-producing enzyme deficiency subject to many variants, some of which cause a deficiency of GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATE DEHYDROGENASE activity in erythrocytes, leading to hemolytic anemia.

D006453	Hemoglobinopathies	A group of inherited disorders characterized by structural alterations within the hemoglobin molecule.	Hemoglobinopathy
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.
