Abstract excerpt
Although some cases of the syndrome of hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) have been correlated with mutations causing a change in the binding of trans-acting factors to DNA sequences flanking the gamma-globin gene, this mechanism has not been described in beta-thalassemias upstream of the canonical promoter of the beta-globin gene. In this report we describe such a change in binding of a protein...
