Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Hereditary persistence of foetal haemoglobin (HPFH) and (δβ)(0) -thalassaemia are conditions caused by large deletions that involve δ- and β-globin genes in the β-globin cluster, and they are characterized by increased haemoglobin (HbF) levels in adults. Significant phenotypic diversity is observed between the different mutations that cause these conditions. Molecular characterization of these...
