A rapid and reliable 7-deletion multiplex polymerase chain reaction assay for α-thalassemia

Abstract excerpt

The molecular genetics of the α-thalassemias has been comprehensively reviewed.[1][1] Of the numerous mutations that have been described, deletions at the α-globin gene locus account for the vast majority of α-thalassemia alleles.[2][2] The most widely occurring of these are the -α3.7 and -α4.2
