Abstract excerpt
The clinical diversity of sickle cell anemia is strongly related to the degree of intracellular hemoglobin S (Hb S) polymerization, which in turn is dependent on the intracellular concentration of Hb S. We have recently defined a region of DNA approximately 500 bp 5' to the human beta-globin gene that acts as a silencer for the transcription of this gene and have shown that a polymorphism in this sequence is...
