-
The normal expression of human beta globin is highly dependent upon the stability of its encoding mRNA.

-
If no or badly functioning beta-globin is made, the life-span of the red blood cells is shortened resulting in anemia.
-
Had we used other substrates, such as globin, the protein we used in our initial experiments, the E3 adsorbed to the column would have probably escaped our attention, as E3s do not typically adsorb to ubiquitin.

We offer a broad test menu, with analysis of over 40 different genes for more than 30 genetic disorders, including craniosynostosis syndromes, neurogenetic/developmental disorders, globin genes and clotting disorders, and cancer predisposition syndromes.

-
Despite its importance, relatively little is known about the structural determinants of beta-globin mRNA stability or how they contribute to regulating beta-globin gene expression.
Sickle cell disease research at The Children's Hospital 2010
-
Sickle cell disease is caused by one mutation in a gene for the beta globin chain, which is one of the two major chains (alpha and beta chains) that make up the adult hemoglobin molecule.

This project is designed to establish a comprehensive understanding of the structures, factors and mechanisms that affect the stability of human beta-globin mRNA. This information promises to be helpful in designing therapies for sickle cell disease.
