[Study of the kinetics of anion metabolism in the erythrocytes of patients with various forms of hereditary neuromuscular diseases].

The authors have shown an increase in the rate of the anion transport in erythrocytic membranes in patients with hereditary neuromuscular diseases, as well as in probable heterozygotic carriers of Duchenne's progressive muscular dystrophy. It is suggested that the kinetic parameters of chlorine-bicarbonate exchange be used for the early diagnosis and identification of the heterozygotic carriership of Duchenne's myodystrophy gene.
