Absence of β Globin Synthesis and Excess of α Globin Synthesis in Homozygous β-Thalassemia

  • Chapter
European Journal of Biochemistry

Abstract

Globin chain synthesis has been studied in β-thalassemia by incubating red blood cells of 10 homozygous thalassemic patients with [3H] amino acids, and by measuring the incorporation of radioactivity into the globin chains, separated by column chromatography.
