Abstract excerpt
It has been suggested that altered levels or function of alpha-haemoglobin stabilising protein (AHSP), an erythroid-specific protein that binds specifically to free alpha-(haemo)globin, might account for some of the clinical variability in beta-thalassaemia. To assess the variation of AHSP expression, mRNA levels in circulating reticulocytes of 103 healthy individuals were measured by quantitative reverse...
