Identification of new silent variants in the analyzed population. Sequences alignment showing the sequence for HBB gen (NCBI database RefSeq NG_059281.1), one control of a healthy individual, and the twelve HbA-HbS individuals. Representative electropherograms of the CAU/CAC and ACC/ACG variations. (b) and (d) unaffected individuals. (a) and (c) Affected individuals. Variations are marked with a vertical line showing the substituted nucleotide. The RV primer was used for sequencing, so the reverse complementary sequence obtained in the electropherogram was used in the alignment.
