Significant linkage was found between spherocytosis and a translocation involving the short arms of chromosomes 8 and 12. The gene for spherocytosis, therefore, is likely either very close to the centromere of chromosome 8 or on 12p. The unusually high frequency of spontaneous abortion in this family was probably due to this translocation and was unrelated to the spherocytosis.
发现球形红细胞增多症与涉及8号和12号染色体短臂的易位之间存在显著连锁。因此,球形红细胞增多症基因可能非常靠近8号染色体的着丝粒,或者位于12p上。该家族中异常高的自然流产频率可能是由于这种易位,与球形红细胞增多症无关。
