How many copies of the beta globin gene do people have?
Most individuals have two normal copies of the beta globin gene
Why is sickle cell anemia beneficial in some regions but harmful in others?
Depends if the population contains the beta-globin gene. Certain African populations do not contact the beta-globin gene, therefore are resistant to malaria but prone to sickle cell anaemia
What is the molecular formula for Beta-globin?
This question is most commonly asked during the month of October. The molecular formula for beta-globin is: HBA-HBB=scary monster! BOO!
Why is a specific region of chromosome 11 referred to as the globin gene cluster?
Due to its relation with formation of globin.
The polypeptide chain of hemoglobin that is designated beta and that when deficient or defective causes various anemias?
Beta-Globin

What chromosome holds the gene for beta globin?
Chromosome 11

Is sickle cell anemia an autoimmune disease?
Sickle Cell Anemia is Autosomal Recessive. It arises from a mutation on the beta-globin gene of chromosome 11. Because Sickle Cell Anemia is an example of incomplete dominance, a person has the disease if they have two mutated beta-globin genes but only has the trait (is a carrier) if they have only one mutated beta-globin gene.
How is hemoglobin constructed?
Normal adult hemoglobin has a pair each of alpha-globin and beta-globin molecules

My husband and I are Beta thalassemia minors and undergone Mutation analysis in beta globin gene. sequencing report is also awaited. please advice us on our chances of having a baby in this case?
The related links contain the best information I could find.
What is Fetal hemoglobin?
Fetal hemoglobin has a pair of gamma-globin molecules in place of the typical beta-globins of adult hemoglobin
What is Hemoglobin S?
Hemoglobin produced in association with the sickle cell trait; the beta-globin molecules of hemoglobin S are defective.
How many globin molecules are in each hemoglobin?
There are four nearly-identical individual protein chains in hemoglobin.
