Abstract
The proposed project comprises the analysis of the molecular alterations in structural variants of hemoglobin, in the hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin, and in the thalassemia syndromes; the analysis of polymorphisms of the complex of the beta globin gene in hemoglobinopathies and the functional study and characterization of the transcription factors in the promoters of gamma globin. In addition to this, it will include the cloning of the alpha chain gene of the hemoglobin of the terrestrial tortoise Geochelone carbonaria. It is worth mentioning that the beta globin gene was cloned by us and sequenced. (AU)
