In southeast Asia, the carrier frequency of two-gene β£-thalassemia deletions is quite high, ranging from 4% to 14% depending on the population. The most common β£-thalassemia-1 deletion is the so-called southeast Asian deletion (--SEA ). In addition, a significant proportion of cases involve two othe

The (3-globin genes from a Thai patient compound heterozygous for p'and Pothalassemias were investigated. Amplification and DNA analysis of genomic DNA by the polymerase chain reaction procedure permitted the identification of the p-Malay mutation (p 19;AAC-AGC) in one allele and a novel pO-thalasse
An empirical formula for calculating Taiwan's specific rain attenuation is presented in this paper. Numerical results obtained from the empirical formula for calculating the specific rain attenuation are generally in good agreement with measurement data. The a¨erage error in the specific rain attenu
We identified and characterized a novel beta(0)-thalassemia mutation due to partial deletion of the 5' end beta-globin gene including the mRNA cap site and a part of exon 1. The deletion was precisely 105 basepair (bp) in length extending from position -24 or -25 to +80 or +81 relative to the beta-g
In order to know the spectrum of β€-thalassemia alleles and other mutations affecting the β€-globin gene, we analyzed the hemoglobin abnormalities in 24 patients from the Province of Co Β΄rdoba in Argentina. Molecular screening of samples was performed by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), using six
