Background: Deletions in the Xq22.3-Xq23 region, inclusive of , have been associated with a contiguous gene deletion syndrome characterised by lport syndrome with intellectual disability (ental retardation), idface hypoplasia and lliptocytosis (AMME). The extrarenal biological and clinical significance of neighbouring genes to the Alport locus has been largely speculative.

Two ideas explain the mechanism of shape regulation: the lipid bilayer coupled theory and the protein network scaffold theory. Recently, several important articles have been published on the former theory. However, many phenomena argue against the theory, including behavior of ghosts and triton shells, various types of manipulation of proteins, and fixation of the shape by the addition of large reagents outside the cell.

Ultrastructures of membrane skeletons in spherocytic and elliptocytic erythrocytes were investigated immunocytochemically. Erythrocytes obtained from patients with hereditary spherocytosis (HS) and hereditary elliptocytosis (HE) were split open mechanically to obtain exposed cytoplasmic sides of erythrocyte membranes and were immunostained with anti-spectrin antibody. Replica membranes were prepared by a quick-freezing and deep-etching method and were checked by electron microscopy.

A case of elliptocytosis associated with an undescribed abnormal alpha glycophorin (alpha GP) is reported. Using immunoblotting techniques, a clear-cut minor band 6' was detected emerging just behind the monomer of delta GP (band 6) when probed with anti-alpha GP antiserum. It also reacted with anti-peptide C antiserum, suggesting that this new band with a molecular weight of 24 K is related to the structural alteration of alpha GP and not delta GP.

It is generally considered that abnormality of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton co elliptocytes. There are, however, few reports of beta spectrin variants. We found a new variant of beta spectrin in a child and her mother.
