Abstract
In cases of β0- thalassaemia from Ferrara, Italy, the β-globin gene is transcribed into mRNA but no protein is synthesised. For these cases there is no hybridisation data suggesting a globin gene structural mutation. This again demonstrates the diverse molecular events which may cause this prevalent hereditary disease.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
