An investigation of the correlation between the y->p-globin switch and DNA methylation was carried out. The restriction patterns obtained with methylation-sensitive and -insensitive enzymes indicated hypomethylation in the promoter region of the r-globin genes in fetal liver DNA but high methylation
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
