摘要
Chorea-acanthocytosis is a neurodegenerative disorder with peripheral red cell acanthocytosis'. Linkage of chorea-acanthocytosis to chromosome 9q21 has been found(2). We refined the locus region and identified a previously unknown, full-length cDNA encoding a presumably structural protein, which we called chorein, We found a deletion in the coding region of the cDNA leading to a frame shift resulting in the production of a truncated protein in both alleles of patients and in single alleles of obligate carriers.
