Because of previous reports of a possible correlation between echinocytogenesis and muscular dystrophies, we investigated the time-dependent development of echinocytes in the blood of normal subjects, patients, and healthy carriers of Duchenne dystrophy. There was a quantitatively significant increase of echinocytes in patients and carriers.
