title: Osmotic fragility of erythrocytes in myopathies.
abstract: Erythrocytes taken from patients with myopathy have previously been reported to have increased osmotic fragility. We have examined the osmotic fragility of erythrocytes from patients with various myopathies and from carriers. The osmotic fragility was the same as in unaffected controls.
