Abstract excerpt
We present a new method to detect the major beta-thalassaemia mutations of the Mediterranean countries (IVS I-1, IVS I-6, IVS I-110, CD-37 and CD-39). The procedure is based upon real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR), using specific fluorescently labelled hybridization probes. The melting curves for each of the specific probes obtained after PCR enabled the identification of different alleles. Genotyping of...
