DURING THE relatively brief period in which molecular biology has been applied to human disease, the structure, function, and synthesis of hemoglobin have been studied most …
In the new edition of this successful and authoritative book, the thalassaemias are reviewed in detail with respect to their clinical features, cellular pathology, molecular genetics …
Adult polycystic kidney disease (APCKD) is a common and often lethal multi-organ disease with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance; approximately 1 in 1,000 people carry …
We present the results of a detailed comparison of the primary structure of human β-like globin genes and their flanking sequences. Among the sequences located 5′ to these …
Introduction G ROWTH HORMONE (GH), prolactin (Prl), and chorionic somatomammotropin (CS, placental lactogen) are a family of polypeptide hormones that are related by function …
We present a procedure for eucaryotic structural gene isolation which involves the construction and screening of cloned libraries of genomic DNA. Large random DNA …

The gene for prolactin has been located on chromosome 6 in humans. DNA fragments of 4.8 and 4.0 kilobases containing prolactin gene sequences were identified in human genomic …
We report the isolation of a cluster of four a-like globin genes from a bacteriophage X library of human DNA (Lawn et al., 1978). Analysis of the cloned DNA confirms the linkage …
