  • Title: Beta-globin gene polymorphism in Saudis: 5.6 Hpa I fragment.
    Author: el-Hazmi MA, Warsy AS.
    Journal: Hum Hered; 1987; 37(4):237-40. PubMed ID: 2820866.
    Abstract:
    To investigate beta-globin gene polymorphism in the Saudi population, samples from 436 individuals from the eastern and north-western provinces of Saudi Arabia were studied using restriction endonucleases Mst II and Hpa I. Three individuals with haemoglobin genotypes AA, AS and SS were identified to each have a 5.6-kilobase (kb) Hpa I fragment in addition to a 13.0-kb fragment. This paper reports for the first time in Saudis a linkage of both the beta A and beta B genes to a 5.6-kb Hpa I fragment.
