Abstract excerpt
beta-Globin haplotypes have been used to investigate the origin and spread of beta-globin mutations such as Hb S [beta 6(A3)Glu-->Val, GAG>GTG], Hb E [beta 26(B8)Glu-->Lys, GAG>AAG], and beta-thalassemia (beta-thal). Molecular analyses revealed the presence of 17 beta-thal mutations in the Mexican population; the most frequent of these are the nonsense codon 39 (C>T), IVS-I-1 (G>A), IVS-I-110 (G>A), and -28...
