| Abstract | Seven beta-thalassemia genes were characterized after they were identified as candidates for previously undescribed mutations based upon the close association of DNA polymorphism haplotypes in the beta-globin gene cluster with specific ethnic mutations. The molecular defect in four of these genes was identical, a frameshift deletion of four nucleotides (-CTTT) within codons 41 and 42. This gene represents a common Southeast Asian mutation shared by a Laotian beta-thalassemia gene, [framework 1 (FR1)], a Vietnamese (FR1), and two Chinese patients (FR3 Asian and FR1). The deletion has been observed previously in Chinese (FR1) and Asian Indians (FR2) and is an example of independent origins of the same molecular defect, possible interallelic gene conversion (as it is seen on two different beta-globin gene frameworks in Chinese), and mutant gene migration in the Asian countries. A second example of mutant gene migration was identified in an Iranian patient with a nucleotide insertion (G) between codons 8 and 9, the same mutation previously found in an Asian Indian in the same chromosomal background. The last two genes examined represent further strong evidence for independent origins of mutation. A C-to-T substitution at position -88 in an Asian Indian has been identified previously in an American Black on a different beta-globin gene framework, and a G-to-A transition at nucleotide 1 of intervening sequence 2 found in an American Black has been observed previously on a different chromosome background in Mediterraneans. This study suggests that there are not many common beta-thalassemia mutations remaining to be discovered. It also suggests that certain sequences in the beta-globin gene are relatively mutation sensitive. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
