Abstract excerpt
We have disrupted the 5' locus of the duplicated adult alpha-globin genes by gene targeting in the mouse embryonic stem cells and created mice with alpha-thalassemia syndromes. The heterozygous knockout mice (.alpha/alpha alpha) are asymptomatic like the silent carriers in humans whereas the homozygous knockout mice (.alpha/.alpha) show hemolytic anemia. Mice with three dysfunctional alpha-globin genes generated...
