Management of osteonecrosis in children and young adults with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.

abstract：:We have investigated the molecular basis of alpha thalassaemia in the so-called 'Cape Coloured' population of Cape Town. DNA from 17 cases was analysed by Southern blotting and hybridization with an alpha globin complementary DNA probe. Three types of alpha thalassaemia genetic determinants were detected: the 3.5 kb d...
