Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the point mutations of beta-thalassemia patients from the Aegean region of Turkey by using an allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization technique. DNA isolated from peripheral blood samples of 75 children with beta-thalassemia major or intermedia was analyzed using a Bio-Rad mD(x)(TM)-Be Tha Gene 1 kit. We determined mutations in 56 (74.6%) patients. The allelic...
