Abstract excerpt
The alpha-MRE is the major regulatory element responsible for the expression of human alpha-like globin genes. It is genetically polymorphic, and six different haplotypes, named A to F, have been identified in some population groups from Europe, Africa and Asia and in native Indians from two Brazilian Indian tribes. Most of the mutations that constitute the alpha-MRE haplotypes are located in flanking sequences...
