Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms of multiple cis-acting elements in the beta-globin locus are associated with variable fetal haemoglobin (HbF) level in sickle cell disease. We developed a multiplex assay permitting simultaneous analysis of three polymorphic cis elements spanning 53 kb of the beta-globin locus. We identified concordance between polymorphic alleles in gamma- and beta-globin promoters however a significant number of...
