The -158 (C→T) nucleotide change, known as Xmn I polymorphism, occurs in (G)γ-globin gene promoter, and results in elevated fetal hemoglobin (HbF). We found this mutation in cis of a β(0)-thalassemia splicing mutation. Despite the complete absence of adult HbA, the phenotype was only moderately severe with no detectable alteration of α-globin gene expression. Interestingly, the β-globin locus haplotype has not been described to bear the (G)γ promoter mutation. Using a gene-specific real-time RT-PCR approach, we found a dramatic increase of both (G)γ and (A)γ mRNA accumulated in the reticulocytes, suggesting that the (G)γ-promoter mutation, alone or in association with another genetic modification, alters in concert the transcription of both (G)γ and (A)γ. This observation is discussed in light of recent regulatory model for β-globin locus.

D012156 Reticulocytes Immature ERYTHROCYTES. In humans, these are ERYTHROID CELLS that have just undergone extrusion of their CELL NUCLEUS. They still contain some organelles that gradually decrease in number as the cells mature. RIBOSOMES are last to disappear. Certain staining techniques cause components of the ribosomes to precipitate into characteristic "reticulum" (not the same as the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM), hence the name reticulocytes. Reticulocyte

D002877 Chromosomes, Human Very long DNA molecules and associated proteins, HISTONES, and non-histone chromosomal proteins (CHROMOSOMAL PROTEINS, NON-HISTONE). Normally 46 chromosomes, including two sex chromosomes are found in the nucleus of human cells. They carry the hereditary information of the individual.
