[The molecular basis of dominantly inherited beta-thalassemia].

Abstract excerpt

In this study, we sought to clarity the molecular basis of a dominant inherited beta-thalassemia, found in heterozygosity in a northern Portuguese family with thalassemia intermedia. We characterized: i) the alpha-globin gene cluster structure; ii) the beta-globin gene cluster haplotype; and iii) the beta-thalassemia mutation. The alpha-globin gene cluster was structurally normal. The G-->T transversion at codon...
