Abstract excerpt
We report a beta-thalassemia mutation [IVS-II-5 (G-->C)] in a Chinese family. Recently we cloned this beta-globin gene and studied its transient expression in murine erythroleukemia (MEL) cells. Both the thalassemic and normal beta-globin genes were isolated by polymerase chain reaction and TA-vector cloning. When the cloned beta-thalassemic globin gene was introduced into MEL cells, two kinds of spliced...
