Gregor Mendel, a Moravian Augustinian friar working in the 19th century in Brno, was the first to study genetics scientifically. Mendel studied "trait inheritance ...

Hereditary spherocytosis ( HS) is a congenital hemolytic disorder wherein a genetic mutation coding for a structural membrane protein phenotype causes the red blood cells to be sphere-shaped ( spherocytosis ), rather than the normal biconcave disk shape. This abnormal shape interferes with the cells' ability to flex during blood ...
