Molecular nature of alpha-globin genes in the Saudi population
Alpha-thalassemia (α-thal) is a disorder caused by the deletion of single or double α-globin genes, and/or point mutations in the α-globin genes. There are 2 common types of α-globin genes; HBA2 and HBA1. Recently, it has been discovered that the HBA2 gene is replaced by a unique HBA12 gene convert in 5.7% of the Saudi population. The α-globin genes have been emerging as a molecular target for ...
متن کاملMolecular biology of epilepsy genes.
Multifactorial inheritance is the most important model accounting for the genetic behavior of the common epilepsies. Important to this model is the concept that many cumulative or synergistic risk genes ultimately lead to a threshold effect. Sophisticated molecular testing indicates that the common epilepsies are very polygenic without evidence of any single gene having even a mild-to-modest ri...
متن کاملIda Bianco Silvestroni. From red cell osmotic fragility to molecular biology of globin genes. A long, productive life with thalassemia.
his issue of Haematologica contains an interesting paper by Ida Bianco (Figure 1) and co-workers on the molecular diagnosis of a-thalassemia, one of the innumerable contributions (by no means the last) that this gentle, inexhaustible lady has made to our present knowledge of thalassemia. I met her last spring in Naples, of course at a meeting on thalassemia, and, like the rest of the audience, ...
متن کاملChicken /3-Globin Genes
We reported previously that DNA bend sites appear in the human /3-globin locus at an average distance of 680 bp. The relative locations of the sites were conserved among the five active /3-like globin genes and one pseudogene. Here, we mapped the sites in the /3-like globin genes from various species and examined their conservation. The locations of the bend sites in the bovine, rabbit and chic...
متن کاملDistribution of Introns in Fungal Histone Genes
Saccharomycotina and Taphrinomycotina lack intron in their histone genes, except for an intron in one of histone H4 genes of Yarrowia lipolytica. On the other hand, Basidiomycota and Perizomycotina have introns in their histone genes. We compared the distributions of 81, 47, 79, and 98 introns in the fungal histone H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 genes, respectively. Based on the multiple alignments of th...
