Sequence polymorphisms within the 5'HS2 segment of human locus control region is described among sickle cell anemia patients. Distinct polymorphic patterns of a simple sequence repeat are observed in strong linkage disequilibrium with each of the five major beta s haplotypes. Potential functional re

✦ Synopsis
Sickle cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the sixth codon of the p-globin gene. There is a vast range of severity in this disease, even among ps gene homozygotes . Five different haplotypes associated with the ps gene have been described, four in Africa (Bantu, Benin, Senegel, and Cameroon) and one found in both India and Saudi Arabia (IndiadArabian) (Chelbourne et al.,

In 113 black American adults with sickle cell anemia (HbSS), we examined nine polymorphic restriction sites, including the Xmnl site 5' to the Gy gene, to see whether haplotype is related to the level of HbF and the proportion of G-y chains or if it influences the hematological and clinical features
Sickle cell anemia and ␣-thalassemia have a heterogeneous distribution in Venezuela with a high frequency in the coastal area (sea level) and few cases in the mountains. Most of our population is an ethnic admixture of Europeans (Spaniards colonists), Africans (slaves), and Amerindians. The purpose
To compare the features of sickle-cell anemia in Brazil with those in other locales, we studied the effects of the p-globin-like gene cluster haplotype and a-thalassemia upon the clinical and hematological features in 85 patients. The distribution of haplotypes differed from that in the United State
