Abstract excerpt
The beta thalassemia alleles in 53 thalassemic Indo-Mauritian patients and their families consisting of 23 homozygous beta-thalassemia, 9 HbE/beta-thalassemia, 18 HbS/beta-thalassemia, 1 HbD/beta-thalassemia, 1 deltabeta/beta-thalassemia and 1 HbH/beta-thalassemia from the island of Mauritius were studied. Characterization by polymerase chain reaction-based reverse dot blot hybridization technique revealed that...
