Thalassemia is a heterozygous inherited disorder of [3globin synthesis lying cis to the defective [3-globin gene. Over 100 thalassemia mutations have been characterized in various ethnic groups and the same mutations have been observed in different ethnic groups. The haplotypes (HT) and [3-globin ge
An initiation codon mutation ATG-ATA of the p-globin gene was found in seven members of three generations of a family living in northern Sweden. This mutation, which has not previously been described, changes the initiation codon for methionine into a codon for isoleucine and will then result in a p
The (3-globin genes from a Thai patient compound heterozygous for p'and Pothalassemias were investigated. Amplification and DNA analysis of genomic DNA by the polymerase chain reaction procedure permitted the identification of the p-Malay mutation (p 19;AAC-AGC) in one allele and a novel pO-thalasse
