Interferon alpha-2 for hairy cell leukemia: evidence for induction of RNA synthesis in hairy cells and failure to correlate enhancement of natural killer cells with elimination of hairy cells.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To characterize the underlying genetic and molecular defects in a consanguineous family with lifelong blood disorder manifested with thrombocytopenia (low platelets count) and anemia. METHODS:Genetic linkage analysis, exome sequencing, and functional genomics were carried out to identify and characterize the...
