  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING RED BLOOD CELLS DEFORMABILITY
    Publication number: 20220341912
    Abstract: The invention is related to a method for measuring the variability of the red blood cells deformability of an individual by determining the amount of red blood cells having a tank-treading motion in a population of red blood cells from a tested blood sample of said individual, and comparing the amount to a reference amount. The determination of the amount of red blood cells having a tank-treading motion is carried out using a visualisation means such as a brightfield microscope.

  • Treatment and Diagnosis of Hereditary Xerocytosis
    Publication number: 20180136227
    Abstract: The invention relates to an in vitro method of diagnosis of hereditary xerocytosis in a subject, comprising genotyping the KCNN4 gene encoding the Gardos channel in said subject. The invention also relates to an inhibitor of the KCNN4 protein for use in the treatment of hereditary xerocytosis, in particular in a human subject who is a carrier of the missense mutation c.1055G>A or c.844G>A in the KCNN4 gene.
