Abstract excerpt
A novel 30 kb deletion of the beta-globin gene cluster associated with the phenotype of hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) is described in two unrelated individuals of Vietnamese background. The Vietnamese G gamma A gamma HPFH deletion has a unique 5' breakpoint 3.5 kb downstream of the delta-globin gene. The 3' breakpoint lies approximately 8 kb upstream from the HPFH-3 breakpoint (Henthorn et...
