title: Hereditary disorders of the red cell membrane skeleton.
abstract: The hereditary hemolytic anemias include a heterogeneous class of disorders caused by defects in the proteins that constitute the membrane skeleton of the red blood cell. The combination of classical and molecular genetics together with clinical findings is rapidly improving our understanding of the basis of these defects.
