The ratio of total globin alpha to beta chain synthesis was determined in reticulocytes isolated from the blood of the members of a black family, some of whom had sickle cell trait with low blood HbS concentrations (25-30%). The results support the hypothesis that sickle cell trait individuals with low HbS concentrations also carry a gene for alpha-thalassemia.
在一个黑人家庭的成员血液中分离出的网织红细胞中,测定了总珠蛋白α链与β链合成的比例。该家庭中一些成员具有镰状细胞性状,血液中HbS浓度较低(25%-30%)。结果支持了这样一种假说,即HbS浓度较低的镰状细胞性状个体也携带α地中海贫血基因。
