Abstract excerpt
Allelic sequence polymorphism at the beta-globin locus was investigated in a group of 36 Melanesians. A 3-kilobase fragment containing the gene and its flanking regions was sequenced in 60 normal (beta A) and 12 thalassemic (intron 1, position 5, G-->C) chromosomes. Haplotype relationships between linked polymorphisms were derived by allele-specific PCR amplification and sequencing. Seventeen nucleotide...
