-117.(G-@A).Agamma,.the.Greek-Italian.nd.html


MUTATION		-117 (G->A) ^Agamma; the Greek-Italian nd-HPFH

IDENTIFICATION		Cloning and amplification; DNA sequencing
HEMATOLOGY IN HETEROZYGOTE(S)		Normal; Hb F 13.6 (7.1-19.0)% (n=42); ^Ggamma 5.0%;Hb A₂ 2.05 (1.2-3.0)% (n=37)
HEMATOLOGY IN HOMOZYGOTE(S)		Hb F 24.0; 24.0%; Hb A₂ 0.8; 0.8%
OCCURRENCE		In Greek and Italian families
HAPLOTYPE		Type VII [+ - - - - - +]
FOUND IN COMBINATION WITH ABNORMAL HB(S)		None reported
FOUND IN COMBINATION WITH BETA-THAL ALLELE(S)		With an undefined beta-thal allele: Hb A₂ 4.2%; Hb F 41.8%
MECHANISM		This mutation occurs in a CCAAT element; three proteins can bind here: the ubiquitous CpI; the erythroid cell-specific NF-E, and a third, less well-defined, protein. This mutation likely alters the binding of one or more of these factors
