Ferrara type ofβ0thalassaemia has two unusual features: first, normalβ-globin chain synthesis is inducible either in cell-free systems prepared from patients' reticulocytes by adding supernatant factors from non-thalassaemic reticulocyte lysates1or in heterologous cell-free translation of thalassaemic mRNA2; second,β-globin synthesis is inducible in patientsin vivoafter blood transfusion3,4. We now describe a molecular lesion of theβ-globin gene that is common to nine cases of Ferraraβ0thalassaemia but cannot be reconciled with the inducible response.
