Abstract

To date, all of the chromosomal deletions that cause -thalassemia remove the structural  genes and/or their regulatory element (HS –40). A unique deletion occurs in a single family that juxtaposes a region that normally lies approximately 18-kilobase downstream of the human  cluster, next to a structurally normal -globin gene, and silences its expression. During development, the CpG island associated with the -globin promoter in the rearranged chromosome becomes densely methylated and insensitive to endonucleases, demonstrating that the normal chromatin structure around the -globin gene is perturbed by this mutation and that the gene is inactivated by a negative chromosomal position effect. These findings highlight the importance of the chromosomal environment in regulating globin gene expression.
