Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To detect copy number changes of α-globin gene, and analyze molecular mechanism of the impacts of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) levels for α-globin gene copy numbers loss or increase. METHODS: A total of 15 cases with combined increased levels of fetal hemoglobin with β-thalassemia were collected. Firstly, three common α-thalassemia deletions were validated by Gap-PCR. Secondly, the largest deletions of the...
