The most frequent molecular lesions causing alpha-thalassemia are deletions of one or more alpha-globin genes. Detection of these deletions generally requires genomic Southern analysis, which is cumbersome and time consuming. We have designed new sets of primers for PCR identification of the common
Fifty to eighty percent of Rett syndrome (RTT) cases have point mutations in the gene encoding methyl-CpG-binding protein-2 (MECP2). A fraction of MECP2 negative classical RTT patients has large heterozygous deletions. Robust Dosage PCR (RD-PCR) assays were developed as a rapid, convenient and accur
