Abstract

Scanning electron microscopic study of unmanipulated erythrocytes from Huntington's Disease (HD) patients disclosed an increased number of stomatocytes compared to controls. This morphological alteration may reflect a membrane abnormality and supports our previous electron spin resonance results (Butterfield et al, Nature (1977) 267, 453-455) which suggests that HD may have diffuse membrane involvement.
