We describe a new alpha 2-globin gene point mutation found in six individuals of a three-generation Dutch family. The mutant, which is associated with a mild alpha-thalassaemic phenotype, is not detectable at the protein level. The alpha 2 cd129 (CTG-->CCG) transition was found by molecular analysis using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and single-strand conformation analysis (SSCA) followed by direct sequencing of the alpha 2-globin gene. Southern analysis revealed a triplication of the zeta-gene in cis with the mutant alpha-globin gene.
我们描述了在一个三代荷兰家庭的六名成员中发现的一种新的α2 -珠蛋白基因突变。该突变体与轻度α地中海贫血表型相关，在蛋白质水平上无法检测到。通过使用变性梯度凝胶电泳（DGGE）和单链构象分析（SSCA）进行分子分析，随后对α2 -珠蛋白基因进行直接测序，发现了α2 cd129（CTG→CCG）转换。Southern分析显示ζ基因与突变的α珠蛋白基因顺式重复。
