Abstract excerpt
Through sequencing of amplified DNA containing the appropriate alpha-globin genes we have identified the base substitution leading to the formation of Hb G-Philadelphia [alpha 68(E17)Asn Lys]. Three subjects (approximately 25% Hb G) had an ACC AAA change at codon 68 of the alpha 2-globin gene; th...
