Of the 645 Japanese subjects studied, we have identified 10 individuals heterozygous for a chromosome with the triplicated alpha-globin loci. The frequency of the triple alpha-loci was 0.008 in this population, while that of the single alpha-locus, i.e., alpha-thalassemia 2 gene, might be lower than

Mapping of the DNA from 14 Mediterranean subjects indicates a genetic variation in an Hinf I recognition site located 1 kilobase 5' to the beta-globin gene. This Hinf I site was found associated with eight beta-thalassemic genes and 11 normal beta genes, and hence is not specifically linked to beta-
Nuclear DNA has been analyzed by means of restriction endonuclease mapping procedure to identify chromosomes that carry mutant Hb Köln beta-globin genes in a family with individuals heterozygous for this disease. Inherited DNA polymorphisms within the beta-globin gene cluster yielded a direct linkag
