Inter-ethnic polymorphism of the beta-globin gene locus control region (LCR) in sickle-cell anemia patients
Hum Genet.
1993 Jun.
Abstract
Sequence polymorphisms within the 5'HS2 segment of human locus control region is described among sickle cell anemia patients. Distinct polymorphic patterns of a simple sequence repeat are observed in strong linkage disequilibrium with each of the five major beta s haplotypes. Potential functional relevance of this polymorphic region in globin gene expression is discussed.
