Abstract excerpt
The human β-globin gene Locus Control Region (LCR), a dominant regulator of globin gene expression contains five tissue-specific DNase I-hypersensitive sites (HSs). A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (A → G) present in HS4 region of locus control region (LCR), have shown a notable association between the G allele and the occurrence of β-thalassemia. This SNP site exhibiting a hairpin - duplex equilibrium...
