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

During the course of screening the DNA of cystic fibrosis patients for the presence of unknown mutations using the single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) technique in a modified nonisotopic form on the Pharmacia Phast system as proposed by Dockhorn-Dworniczak et al. (1991), the DNA of a y
We present a case of -thalassemia intermedia involving a 13-year-old boy of Northern European descent. His mother, father and older sister have normal hematologic indices. Molecular studies demonstrate that the proband carries a novel mutation of the -globin gene initiation codon (ATG→AAG) which s
