## Communicated by Garry R. Cutting We sought to determine the spectrum of mutations producing f3-thalassemia in Egypt using genomic PCR and a variety of mutation-screening procedures. T h i r t y four P-thalassemia and three Hb S/Pthalassemia patients originating from different regions of Egypt w
We have identified different beta-thalassemia mutations in 93 members of 34 families of Czech or Slovakian descent using gene amplification, hybridization with specific 32P-labeled oligonucleotide probes, sequencing of amplified DNA, and gene mapping. The G----A mutation at IVS-I-1 was found in 18 f
We have analyzed the beta-thalassemia mutations in 99 chromosomes of 49 adults with beta-thalassemia major and of one with Hb S-beta-thalassemia, who are regular patients at a large hematology clinic in Bakü, Azerbaijan. A total of 20 different mutants were identified; three [frameshift at codon 8 (
In order to perform genetic counselling and prenatal diagnosis of Hb-S-beta-thalassemia disease and beta-thalassemia, we have delineated the spectrum of beta-thalassemia alleles in the Guadeloupean population. A sample of 63 unrelated families was analyzed including 70 beta-thalassemia carriers, 52
