Abstract excerpt
The presence of point mutations at position -202 relative to the mRNA Cap site of both human fetal gamma-globin genes is linked with elevated fetal globin levels in adults. The question addressed in this study is whether the -202 mutation affects gamma-globin gene expression in the same manner as the -117 hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) A gamma-globin mutation. The -117 mutation was found to...
