Homozygous alpha thalassemia/Hb G Philadelphia. 1982

D M Pardoll, and S Charache, and B L Hjelle, and R Jones, and J A Phillips, and R R Smith, and R J Rodeheffer

Microcytic red cells from a 70 year old Negro man with mild anemia contained only hemoglobin G-Philadelphia. Red cells from all of his children had low-normal MCV's, and contained 32-34 percent of the abnormal hemoglobin. Oxygen affinity of his blood and stability of his hemolysate were normal, suggesting that his mild anemia was not caused by the the abnormal hemoglobin. Restriction endonuclease analyses of DNA from the proband and his offspring showed that the alpha G-Philadelphia globin gene exists in only one copy per chromosome. The new gene was probably created by an unequal cross-over which deleted an alpha globin coding sequence (derived from one or both alpha globin genes), as well as some or all of the DNA sequence between those genes.

D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.
