Abstract excerpt
Forty-one patients with codon 17, A-T mutation of beta-thalassemia, which is commonly found in Thailand, were studied to determine whether it is possible to predict phenotypic severity from genetic factors. The clinical phenotype of homozygotes for codon 17, A-T and compound heterozygotes for codon 17, A-T and beta+-thalassemia may be used to predict a severe phenotype with TM. However, the clinical phenotype of...
