Abstract excerpt
A 13-year-old African-American female with erythrocytosis and three different beta globins on electrophoresis beta A, beta S, and beta Osler, raised the possibility that one chromosome 11 might contain a duplicated beta globin gene, since there are normally only 2 beta globin genes. DNA sequence analysis showed GTG at codon 6 in exon 1, corresponding to Hb S and AAT at codon 145 in exon 3, indicating a...
