title: Polymorphism of the Hinf I restriction site located 1 Kb 5' to the human beta-globin gene.
abstract: Mapping of the DNA from 14 Mediterranean subjects indicates a genetic variation in an Hinf I recognition site located 1 kilobase 5' to the beta-globin gene. This Hinf I site was found associated with eight beta-thalassemic genes and 11 normal beta genes, and hence is not specifically linked to beta-thalassemia.
