By using oligonucleotide hybridization, restriction endonuclease analysis and direct sequencing of amplified genomic DNA, we have been able to characterize 18 different mutations in the beta-globin genes of 161 beta-thalassemia homozygotes and 107 beta-thalassemia heterozygotes from Turkey (429 beta
Eleven restriction site polymorphisms in the beta-globin gene cluster were determined in 48 Chinese with homozygous beta-thalassemia and their parents. Seven haplotypes were identified as associated with the beta thal chromosome and 25 with the beta A chromosome. The distribution of the various beta
beta-Thalassemia mutations in 71 chromosomes of Thai patients from the northeast, the middle and the south of the country were investigated using dot blot hybridization of PCR (polymerase chain reaction)-amplified DNA with allele-specific oligonucleotide probes. Eight different known molecular defec
The -thalassemia syndromes are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized by reduced or absent expression of the -globin gene. To date, over 300 -thalassemia alleles have been characterized in or around the -globin region. Thalassemia major is severe anemia necessitating chronic bl
