Abstract excerpt
Short tandem repeats located 5' prime to the β-globin gene, have been observed to be in linkage disequilibrium with the HbS allele, and thought to affect the severity of sickle cell disease. Here, we report on new mutants within the HBG2 region that may impact sickle cell disease. To determine the cis-acting elements microsatellites, indels and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), within the HBG2 region by...
