A novel polyadenylation signal mutation in the α<sub>2</sub>‐globin gene causing α thalassaemia
1 May 1994
Abstract excerpt
In a family of Indian origin we have identified a deletion of two bases at the polyadenylation signal sequence of the alpha 2-globin gene (AATAAA-->AATA). Three individuals heterozygous for this mutation display an alpha o-thalassaemia-like phenotype. Single-stranded conformation analysis and automatic sequencing showed no additional mutations in either alpha 1- or alpha 2-globin genes. A previously described...
