Genetic epidemiology of beta-thalassemia in Sicily: do sequences 5' to the G gamma gene and 5' to the beta gene interact to enhance HbF expression in beta-thalassemia?

American journal of hematology - 1 Jul 1992

Abstract excerpt

The present epidemiological study of the molecular characteristics of beta-thalassemia in Sicily was prompted by the disparate phenotypic expression (in clinical status and absolute HbF level) observed in two beta-thalassemic homozygotes who were also homozygous for the beta-like globin gene cluster haplotype III. We suspected that polymorphisms within haplotype III could be the cause for the discrepancy. Based...
