Heterogeneity in thalassemia is due to various modifying factors viz. coinheritance of α-gene defects, abnormal hemoglobin, XmnI polymorphism, variation in repeat sequences present in LCR, and silencer region of the gene. The present work on populations from eastern regions of India was undertaken to study the genetic profile of heterogeneity in thalassemia patients. Mutation analysis in 126 index families...
