Globin genes on the move
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent data published in BMC Biology from the globin gene clusters in platypus, together with data from other species, show that beta-globin genes transposed from one chromosomal location to another. This resolves some controversies about vertebrate globin gene evolution but ignites new ones.

The Spectrum of Mutations in 100 Thalassemic Carriers Referred to Ghaem Hospital of Mashhad
Abstract Background Thalassemia is common in the Iranian population, and it must be considered in the differential diagnosis of the microcytic hypochromic anemia. The molecular analysis of β-thalassemia is necessary for prenatal molecular diagnosis. Α-thalassemia caused by loss of function of either one of the two duplicated α-globin genes or in less frequent non deletion mutations mostly loc...
متن کاملبررسی بیان ژن های موثر در سنتز گاما گلوبین قبل و بعد از تمایز سلول های بنیادی خونساز به رده سلول های اریتروئیدی
Background and aim: Induction of fetal hemoglobin (Hb-F) can improve the patients’ symptoms of haemoglobinopathies. Several factors can induce gamma globin gene expression and increased Hb-F levels in patients. In this study, the expression of genes is involved in regulation of gamma globin synthesis such as PIPKII-alpha BCL11a, and miR-30a during CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell differentiation i...

Background and Aim:-thalassemia is the most common inherited disorder of hemoglobin (Hb) synthesis in the world. Alpha thalassemia most frequently results from the loss of one (- ) or both (- -) of the duplicated genes () on chromosome 16. Carriers of deletional forms of -thalassemia (-/- /-, or --/) are clinically normal but have a mild hypochromic, microcytic anemia. C...
متن کاملP-127: The Effect of Beta Globin Intron on Human FSH Hormone Expression in CHO Cells
Background Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)- a hetrodimeric glycoprotein- is secreted by pituitary gland. This hormone stimulates growth and maturation of the follicles in females and sperms in male. Up to now, glycoprotein hormones such as FSH have produced in different cell lines. Among of the mammalian expression systems, the Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) have taken into consideration ...
