Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: A molecular study was carried out of beta-thalassemia intermedia patients, compound heterozygotes for mutations usually found in beta-thalassemia major, with high levels of HbF in the absence of hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) syndrome. Our objective was to locate cis-DNA structures, DNA haplotypes, motifs, or polymorphisms that may correlate with the presence of high HbF. METHODS:...
