We identified and characterized a novel beta(0)-thalassemia mutation due to partial deletion of the 5' end beta-globin gene including the mRNA cap site and a part of exon 1. The deletion was precisely 105 basepair (bp) in length extending from position -24 or -25 to +80 or +81 relative to the beta-g

During a physical checkup, a 42-year-old Japanese man with liver dysfunction was diagnosed as having p-thalassemia. Using molecular biological techniques including PCR, we investigated the chemical basis of the hematological disorder. We found that a frameshift attributable to the insertion of a thy
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
