Abstract excerpt
Two hundred and nine beta-thalassaemia (beta-Thal) alleles of 158 unrelated Myanmar patients (107 HbE-beta-Thal; 51 beta-Thal major) were analysed for beta-globin gene mutations. Amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) characterized six beta-thal mutations known to Myanmar [betaIVSI-1(G-->T), codon 41/42(-TCTT), betaIVSI-5(G-->C), codon 17(A-->T), betaIVS II-654(C-->T), and -28 Cap (A-->G)] in 166/209...
