The rate in erythrocytes from patients with hereditary spherocytosis was 0.09 +/- 0.02 mumol/min/ml of cells (mean +/- SD, n = 8), whereas the rate in erythrocytes from healthy individuals was 0.23 +/k- 0.03 mumol/min/ml of cells (mean +/- SD, n = 8). The lower rate of transport in erythrocytes of hereditary spherocytosis could not be described to a different glycolytic response to NaF or to a difference in cell age distribution. This phenomenon seemed to be a reflection of some abnormality in the erythrocyte membrane from patients with hereditary spherocytosis.
