Abstract
Lymphocyte cultures from homozygotes for the .beta.+-thalassemia gene to contained chromosomal gaps, breaks and rearrangements more often than those from controls. Culture time seemed to have a determinant effect on the results. The possible influence of folic acid deficiency is discussed.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
