Abstract excerpt
The A gamma fetal globin genes from a large Australian kindred with nondeletional A gamma hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) were cloned and sequenced. The -198 T----C mutation (British type HPFH) was demonstrated upstream of the A gamma gene on one allele. On the other allele, a 4-deletion was identified -222 to -225 bp upstream from the cap site. The 4-bp deletion allele was associated with a...
