Abstract excerpt
Hemoglobin Constant Spring (Hb CS) and Hb Paksé, two abnormal Hbs characterized by elongated alpha-globin chains resulting from mutations of the termination codon in the alpha2-globin gene, are the most prevalent nondeletional alpha-thalassemias in Southeast Asia. To determine the origins of these two variants in the region, we have determined alpha-globin gene haplotypes associated with these two variants on 120...
