We report a study of four families of Italian origin in which heterocellular HPFH is inherited linked to beta thalassemia over two or three generations. The HPFH + beta thalassemia carriers showed thalassemic blood pictures and elevated HbF and F-cell number without increase in the HbF/F-cell conten
Some types of nondeletional heterocellular hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) appear to be caused by mutations in the beta globin gene cluster near the gamma globin genes, while in other cases the condition is associated with a gene or genes outside the beta globin gene complex. We ha
