We have characterized three novel epsilongammadeltabeta-thalassaemia deletions in three English families. Two of the deletions, 114 and 439 kb, removed the entire beta-globin gene complex, including a variable number of flanking olfactory receptor (HOR) genes. The 98-kb deletion extended 90-kb upstream of the epsilon gene to 8 kb upstream of the Ggamma-gene, leaving the gamma,delta and beta-genes intact. The 439 kb deletion is the largest deletion reported so far to cause epsilongammadeltabeta-thalassaemia; heterozygotes for this deletion were variably affected by neonatal haemolytic anaemia. Two of the deletions were de novo. Breakpoints of all three deletions occurred within regions of L1 or Alu repeats and contained short regions of direct homology between the flanking sequences, a feature that is likely to have contributed to the illegitimate recombinations.
