Abstract excerpt
Two mutations in the beta-globin poly(A) signal were identified in Israeli patients with beta +-thalassemia by sequence analysis following PCR. One is a point mutation (AATAAA----AATAAG) and the other is a 5-base-pair deletion (AATAAA----A----). The mutant genes were used to investigate the function of the poly(A) signal in vivo and to evaluate the mechanism whereby these mutations lead to a thalassemic...
