In doing so, it sought to identify …

In 2008, we identified a significant genetic defect (TMEM43; P358L) in patients and extended relatives from 22 unrelated families with Newfoundland ancestry. We showed that the clinical consequence of harboring the TMEM43 mutation is early SCD (50% of untreated males deceased by 40…
