The synthesis of globin proteins in blood reticulocytes of homozygous beta-thalassemic patients from Tadzhikistan has been previously studied. beta-thalassemia with sharp repression of beta-globin protein synthesis (alpha/beta greater than 10) has been shown to be most representative for the region. In this work, the synthesis of globin proteins has been studied in bone marrow cells of homozygous beta-thalassemic patients.

Beta-thalassemia has been revealed in all cases, with synthesis of beta-globin being retained though essentially reduced. It was shown that, unlike homozygous beta+-thalassemia of other populations, beta +thalassemia with sharp inhibition of the beta-globin protein synthesis is most representative for the region (alpha/beta greater than 10).
