Abstract excerpt
We report a Swiss-Spanish family three members of which have the clinical picture of thalassemia intermedia. Restriction endonuclease mapping of the alpha-globin cluster and digestion with Mae I of the in vitro amplified 5' segment of the beta-globin gene shows a combination of triplicated alpha globin locus, anti-3.7 kb type, with heterozygous codon 39 C----T beta (0) thalassemic mutation. These, as well as 16...
