Abstract excerpt
We have defined the molecular basis of normal HbA2 beta-thalassaemia associated with Hb Knossos. DNA sequence analysis of the delta globin gene in cis with beta Knossos showed deletion of a single A in codon 59 leading to a premature termination at codon 60. This delta 0/beta Knossos allele has been observed in three unrelated Egyptian families and associated with a single beta haplotype (+----++). One individual...
