Abstract excerpt
Using restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) and sequence haplotype analysis, we studied the chromosomal background of the beta-globin gene in 31 unrelated Lebanese IVS-I-110 or codon 39 (Cd39) subjects, and five normal betaAbeta/A individuals. Our results are compared with those from similar studies in other parts of the Mediterranean in an attempt to provide insights into historical patterns of...
