[Human globin genes: what can we learn from their polymorphism?].

Abstract excerpt

Molecular analysis of human alpha and beta globin genes reveals extensive polymorphism at these loci. Worldwide distribution of the sickle cell trait has been well known for some time. However, the molecular basis and distribution of thalassemia have been more recently studied. These are the commonest monogenic disorders. For most of them, beta-thalassemia is due to single nucleotide substitutions, small...
