Although some cases of the syndrome of hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) have been correlated with mutations causing a change in the binding of trans-acting factors to DNA sequences flanking the 7-globin gene, this mechanism has not been described in pthalassemias upstream of the can
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-
