## Abstract LCR, a genetic regulatory element, was examined in β‐thalassemia patients who do not show any mutation in the β‐globin genes. We sequenced LCR‐HS2, HS3, and HS4 in samples from 16 such patients from the Indian population and found only one SNP A‐G in the inverted repeat in HS4. A signif
