β¦ Synopsis
Molecular characterization of the alpha-thalassemia mutations present in nine HbH subjects from Cuba was achieved by digestion with Bam HI, Bgl II, and Apa I and hybridization with alpha- and zeta-specific probes. The results show that the molecular basis of the genetic defect is quite homogeneous, all the subjects carrying the - alpha 3.7 type I/--SEA genotype. Variations are observed in the size of the zeta polymorphic fragments.
