Abstract
gamma delta beta-Thalassemia is a rare disorder of hemoglobin biosynthesis, characterized molecularly by partial or complete deletions of the beta-globin gene complex of 100 kilobases (kb) or greater. Common to all mutants described has been the deletion of the most-5' sequences of the beta-globin complex. We have used the techniques of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and polymerase chain reaction to study a patient with a clinical gamma delta beta-thalassemia phenotype. This subject developed a de novo deletion on a maternally inherited beta-globin gene chromosome involving approximately 30 kb of sequences 5' to the epsilon gene; the deletion extends from -9.5 kb to -39 kb 5' of epsilon and includes three of the four DNase I hypersensitive sites (at -10.9 kb, -14.7 kb, and -18 kb 5' of epsilon). The remaining sequences of the beta-globin complex, including the DNase I hypersensitive sites at -6.1 kb and all structural genes in cis to the deletion are physically intact, but presumably nonfunctional, as evidenced by the presence of a beta S-globin gene that is not expressed as a sickle hemoglobin. Deletion of DNase I hypersensitive sites on a previously functional beta-globin gene complex confirms the significance of these sites in regulating globin gene expression.
