Abstract excerpt
In this study, the effect of -158 (C-->T) (XmnI) polymorphism on the synthesis of fetal Hb and its G gamma component during the switchover from fetal to adult Hb was examined using cord blood samples from normal Caucasian term infants. The presence of -158(C-->T) mutation was determined by amplification of G gamma and A gamma-globin gene promoter fragments from the DNA isolated from cord blood samples, followed...
