Cerebral involvement in McLeod syndrome.

Neurology 1994 January
McLeod syndrome is an Xp21-linked Kell blood group variant due to lack of erythrocyte protein Kx with associated RBC membrane dysfunction such as acanthocytosis. A man with this syndrome developed chorea and slight neuropsychological impairment. He had caudate atrophy on cerebral imaging and reduced striatal dopamine D2-receptor binding on single-photon emission computed tomography. Since Xp21 was partly deleted in the patient, the missing gene product (possibly Kx) may be essential for the integrity of the striatum.
