We studied the relative prevalences of erythroid cytoskeletal protein defects and their relationship with the clinical course of hereditary spherocytosis (HS) in 62 Spanish patients (30 kindreds), 53 cases with familial history (21 kindreds). Combined spectrin and ankyrin deficiency was the most prevalent abnormality, as previously described.
