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 the rare Hpa I/3' beta polymorphic restriction site generating a 7.0 kb fragment. However, at 5' the gene of the Italian...
