Abstract excerpt
The clinical and hematological course of β thalassemia intermedia is influenced by a number of genetic factors which play a role in increasing fetal haemoglobin levels. Several polymorphisms located in the promoters of β and γ globin gene are involved in influencing the disease severity. Our objective was to study the effect of cis-DNA haplotypes, motifs, or polymorphisms (Pre G γ globin gene haplotypes, Aγ-δ...
