Globin GeneTranscription/Translation
Hemoglobinopathies & Thalassemias
• Hemoglobinopathies: QualitativeHemoglobinopathies: Qualitative Change- Mutation in nucleotide sequence of globin gene produces abnormal globin structure
• Thalassemias: Quantitative Change• Thalassemias: Quantitative Change-Decreased or absent production of a globin chain

• γ globin is insufficiently increased to compensate
