摘要: Analysis of alpha and zeta genes in 101 healthy normals hospitalized patients with non-haematological diseases revealed a 3% incidence thalassaemia the local Chinese population Hong Kong. Triple were found only one person while triple more prevalent, occurring 13 subjects. Studies 28 unselected Hb H disease indicated predominance rightward gene deletion. The extent deletion homozygous 1 was at least 18.1 kb, beginning from BamH I site 3' to includes psi alpha, 2 genes. Nineteen 20 chromosomes bearing had identical zeta-intergenic hypervariable region suggesting common origin this mutation. co-inheritance beta subjects 8%, but did not ameliorate clinical features those thalassaemia.
