Molecular and cellular analysis of three novel alpha2-globin gene promoter mutations [HBA2: c.-59C>T], [HBA2: c.-81C>A] and [HBA2: c.-91G>A] reveal varying patterns of transcriptional and translational activities

While point mutations affecting the promoter region of [beta]-globin gene are widely described, there are no well characterised reports of any point mutations currently found in the promoter of the [alpha]2-globin (HBA2) gene. We present clinical and experimental data for three novel HBA2 gene core...
