An image showing 3 types of globin genes prevalent in the Saudi population: HBA2 (α2), HBA1 (α1), and HBA12 (α12). The α2 gene is colored in nut brown and α1 gene is colored in violet. The undistinguished sequences (α1 or α2 ?) are colored in black. Reproduced and modified from: Borgio JF, AbdulAzeez S, Al-Nafie AN, Naserullah ZA, Al-Jarrash S, Al-Madan MS, et al. A novel HBA2 gene conversion in cis or trans: “α12 allele” in a Saudi population. Blood Cells Mol Dis 2014; 53: 199-203.8 With permission from Elsevier.

Molecular types of thalassemia and types of globin gene deletions prevalent in the Saudi population. Filled boxes of genes α1, α2, and α12 indicates normal genes, while empty boxes of genes α1, α2, and α12 indicate the deleted genes.
