De novo deletion within the telomeric region flanking the human alpha globin locus as a cause of alpha thalassaemia.
We have identified and characterized a Scottish individual with alpha thalassaemia, resulting from a de novo 48 kilobase (kb) deletion from the telomeric flanking region of the alpha globin cluster which occurred as a result of recombination between two misaligned repetitive elements that normally l...
