title: Family studies of red-cell metabolism of pyridoxine in beta-thalassaemia.
abstract: Red-cell conversion of pyridoxine to pyridoxal phosphate was measured in 12 families with thalassaemia and 2 normal families. A strong familial pattern was demonstrated and the evidence suggested that the rate of red-cell conversion of pyridoxine is an independently inherited characteristic.
