Abstract
The pattern of inheritance of several polymorphic restriction sites associated with the beta-gene cluster, and spanning a region of 52kb, demonstrates that a determinant for hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH) segregates independently from the non-alpha globin gene cluster, as we postulated several years ago on purely genetical grounds. This finding provides additional evidence for the existence of diffusible factors affecting gamma-chain expression. Moreover, we have identified a "private" HincII polymorphism, in the vicinity of the epsilon gene in the family studied.Entities:
