Abstract excerpt
We studied a family in which two inherited defects of the non-alpha-globin cluster segregate: Greek hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) and beta-thalassemia. The compound heterozygote is a healthy man with 43% HbF, Ggamma/Agamma ratio (27:73) differing from that of 10 simple heterozygotes for the Greek HPFH (92:8), normal levels of total Hb (13.3 g/dl), and reduced HbA2 levels comparing with the...
