Abstract excerpt
Hemoglobinopathies are the most frequent genetic diseases in the world. Among them, the Hb S variant [beta6(A3)Glu-->Val], which, in the homozygous state, produces a severe disease known as sickle cell anemia with polymerization of Hb S inside red blood cells under hypoxic conditions. Additional mutations, in cis or in trans of the beta(S)-globin chain, may inhibit or enhance the polymerization process. We...
