Initial sequencing and analysis of the human genome.

The human genome holds an extraordinary trove of information about human development, physiology, medicine and evolution. Here we report the results of an international collaboration to produce and make freely available a draft sequence of the human genome. We also present an initial analysis of the data, describing some of the insights that can be gleaned from the sequence.

Compatible transfusion therapy for paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria.

Two children with paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (PCH) are described. Both cases were associated with cold-warm serum lysins having anti-Tja activity. Transfusion with compatible frozen-thawed red cells tided these children over the critical acute hemolytic phase of the syndrome. These are the first recorded examples of successful compatible transfusion therapy in PCH.
