Abstract excerpt
We have identified through sequencing of amplified DNA the mutations in the alpha 2- and alpha 1-globin genes in 63 individuals with a heterozygosity for an alpha chain abnormal haemoglobin (Hb). Moreover, we developed a reverse transcription/polymerase chain reaction (RT/PCR) based procedure for the determination of the alpha 2- and alpha 1-mRNA ratio in normal individuals. The numbers of alpha 2 and alpha 1...
