Abstract excerpt
Hb O-Arab [beta 121(GH4)Glu-->Lys] was detected in two Mediterranean families, one from Southern Italy and the other from Albania. The GAA-->AAA mutation at codon 121 was characterized by DNA sequencing. The mutant genes were associated with the same beta-globin gene framework variant and with th...
