Restriction endonuclease mapping of the beta-globin genomic region was used for studying the molecular basis of two variants of hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH): an African G gamma (beta)+ HPFH and a Chinese HPFH variant with predominant synthesis of A gamma chains. HPFH and control DNA samples were digested with a battery of restriction enzymes, and the fragments were identified by hybridization to a family of discrete probes. DNA fragments from the A gamma HPFH (Chinese) and the G gamma (beta)+ HPFH individuals were identical with those of the normal controls. These findings suggest that the two mutants are the result of small structural anomalies of DNA sequences that play a role in the regulation of the expression of gamma-globin genes.[1]
