Abstract excerpt
The beta-globin gene from a Japanese individual with an inclusion body beta-thalassaemia trait has been characterized by gene cloning and DNA sequencing. An adenine deletion was detected at the first position of codon 123 (ACCCC) of one allele whereas the other allele had a normal sequence. Heterozygosity for this mutation in the patient was confirmed by Southern blots of the genomic DNA digested with HphI, the...
