β-Globin gene inactivation by DNA translocation in γβ-thalassaemi
Abstract
The beta-globin gene present on the deletion locus in a Dutch gamma beta-thalassaemic patient was found to be identical to the normal beta-globin gene with respect to DNA sequence and its transcription in HeLa cells. DNase I sensitivity and methylation experiments show that the affected beta-globin gene is present in an inactive configuration in vivo. This is the result of a translocation of a normally inactive locus next to the beta-globin gene on the affected chromosome, or the deletion of sequences which are normally required for the maintenance of the active state.

“It soon became clear that enhancers also played vital roles in humans, with non-coding enhancer deletions starting to be linked to severe disease phenotypes such as beta thalassaemia and polydactyly [25–28].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
