A survey of hemoglobinopathies in Northern Sardinia allowed the identification of two subjects heterozygous for a new type of G gamma hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH). The G gamma-globin gene from the HPFH chromosome shows the presence of a T----C substitution 175 nucleotides upstream of the CAP site, adding a new example of single-point mutations occurring in the promoter region of the gamma-globin genes and linked to HPFH phenotypes. In this case the mutation affects the 3' end nucleotide of a conserved octamer sequence known to be present in other regulatory elements of several genes.
对撒丁岛北部血红蛋白病的一项调查发现了两名新型Gγ型胎儿血红蛋白遗传性持续存在(HPFH)杂合子个体。来自HPFH染色体的Gγ珠蛋白基因在CAP位点上游175个核苷酸处存在T→C替换,这为γ珠蛋白基因启动子区域发生的与HPFH表型相关的单点突变增添了一个新例子。在这种情况下,该突变影响了一个保守八聚体序列的3'末端核苷酸,已知该序列存在于多个基因的其他调控元件中。
