✦ Synopsis


Theorlglnsofthe -28A-CandframeshlftCd 11 -T(FsCd 11 -T)alleleswerelnvestigated by p-globln cluster haplotype analysis. These alleles were found in a Mexican mestizo family with p-thalassemia (p-thal). The -28 A-4 mutation was descrlbed prevlously In Kurdish Jews linked to the most common haplotype In the world (+----++), the same haplotype observed In this Mexican family. Therefore, It Is not possible to assess a new origin of the -28 A-C mutation In our population. The Fs Cd 11 -T allele, not reported to date In any other populations, was linked to the -++--+haplotype (sixth In frequency In the world). This haplotype has not been reported in association with any 0-thal mutant, suggesting a Mexican origin for the Cd 11 -1 mutation. o 1988 Wliey-Lirr. inc.
