With a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction procedure, we have determined the relative quantities of alpha 2- and alpha 1-mRNA in several patients with heterozygosities for alpha 2- or alpha 1-globin gene mutations, in subjects with two forms of alpha-thalassemia-2 (-3.7 kb; -4.2 kb), and in two children with an alpha-globin gene triplication. Mutations in either one of the two genes do not affect the...
