Ho P J, Thein S L
Abstract excerpt
The study of the beta globin gene has provided great insights into the mechanisms of gene regulation and expression. In this review, we consider the normal regulation and expression of the beta globin gene and illustrate how the various steps may be affected, providing a basis for understanding the molecular pathophysiology of beta thalassemia. Mutations causing beta thalassemia can be classified as beta0 or B+...
