Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Autonomous gene silencing and gene competition by globin promoters for locus control region (LCR) function have been proposed as mechanisms in developmental regulation of beta-like genes. deltabeta degrees thalassemias are syndromes presenting an increased production of fetal hemoglobin in adult life; the majority of them are due to various deletions in beta-globin gene cluster. We studied samples from...
