T13 | 0-169 | Sentence | denotes | Beta-globin gene switching—the transition from embryonic to fetal to adult synthesis of specific globin chains—results in hemoglobins with different affinity for oxygen. |
T14 | 170-474 | Sentence | denotes | This system is a longstanding paradigm for developmental biology and is directly relevant to human disease, since small amounts of normal embryonic or fetal beta-globins can “balance” the detrimental effect of abnormal or missing adult globins in diseases such as sickle cell anemia and beta-thalassemia. |
