Abstract excerpt
beta Thalassemia (Thal) mutations were studied in DNA from 80/159 patients with hemolytic anemia and high levels of Hb A2 by the amplification refractory mutation system technique (ARMS-PCR). This method detects point mutations and insertions or deletions of just a few nucleotides in the beta globin gene by the polymerase chain reaction of allele-specific priming. In 43/80 patients with different clinical...
