    In this article we have surveyed the current state of knowledge regarding the accumulation of globin mRNA and hemoglobin in red cells. We have attempted to examine the interplay of numerous processes that seem to be necessary to achieve this highly differentiated state. Finally, we have made an effort to formulate some of the mechanisms whereby individual red cells may come to contain varying proportions of specific hemoglobins. The past several years have been characterized by a veritable explosion of knowledge concerning the globin structure genes, and the structure, transcription, processing and function of globin mRNA in erythroid cells. It now seems possible to analyze the earlier stages of erythropoiesis by cultivation and examination of erythroid colonies in vitro. The primary differentiation events leading to the production of specific globins, especially for hemoglobin F production in man, are now experimentally accessible. There is good reason to hope that these advances will soon permit achievement of the long desired therapeutic goal of enhancing hemoglobin F synthesis in patients with severe beta-chain hemoglobinopathies. Our aim has been to review the scientific information that might provide the rationable for amelioration of the clinical phenotypes in patients inheriting abnormal globin genes.
