Part Three.
Suppose you are a lab technician who is responsible for diagnostic analysis of individual
hemoglobinopathy cases. You have identified the mutations in each individual as outlined in the list of
cases below. You will need to develop the appropriate techniques to identify these mutations in their
family members, predict how these mutations affect gene expression and confirm the prediction with
proper molecular techniques.
For each case, please decide which thalassemia the individual has and what level of gene expression
should be affected. Refer to the book when necessary.
