Two Spanish families with alpha thalassaemia, including 4 individuals with Hb H disease, are described. DNA mapping shows that, in addition to the common alpha thalassaemia determinant (-alpha 3.7), a different and previously unreported allele is present in each family. In one, there is a deletion of 10.5-12 kb of DNA including both alpha genes (--SPAN). In the other, a deletion of more than 100 kb has removed the entire alpha globin gene complex (--BR).
本文描述了两个患有α地中海贫血的西班牙家庭,其中包括4名Hb H病患者。DNA图谱显示,除了常见的α地中海贫血决定簇(-α3.7)外,每个家庭中还存在一个不同的且此前未报道过的等位基因。在一个家庭中,有一段10.5 - 12 kb的DNA缺失,包括两个α基因(--SPAN)。在另一个家庭中,超过100 kb的缺失移除了整个α珠蛋白基因复合体(--BR)。
