A molecular tool to assess the pathological relevance of alpha-globin DNA variants

Aim: While the phenotype for heterozygous beta-thalassaemia is straightforward, it is more difficult to confirm a causative relationship for mutations in the alpha-globin genes. The aim of this study was to generate an in vitro system to evaluate the pathological relevance of α-globin mutations. Met...
