Abstract excerpt
The persistence of fetal hemoglobin in many patients with deletion type beta thalassemias and the expression patterns of human globin genes in transgenic mice suggest that gamma- to beta-globin gene switching results primarily from competition of gamma- and beta-globin genes for interaction with the beta-globin locus control region (LCR). To define regulatory sequences that are essential for the competitive...
