Abstract excerpt
A considerable number of deletions of variable size and position that involve the beta-globin gene complex on chromosome 11 are associated with the clinical entities of hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) and delta beta thalassemia. Specific deletions appear to be associated with consistent phenotypes and some are known to be recurrent. To facilitate the molecular diagnosis of uncharacterized...
