Molecular basis of erythrocyte membrane disorders.

abstract：:This overview concentrates on familial and congenital polycythemias in the context of other polycythemic disorders, with emphasis on those with established molecular lesions. Recent advances in the regulation of erythropoiesis, as they may relate to polycythemic states, are discussed as a background for those well-def...
