Abstract excerpt
A total of 218 beta-thalassemia (thal) genes from 109 beta-thal major patients were characterized using an automated fluorescence DNA sequencing technique. Eight different mutations were identified in all 218 alleles (100%). Four common mutations accounted for 96.8% [49.5% were codons 41/42 (-TTCT), 34.4% were codon 17 (A --> T), 6.9% were IVS-I-1 (G --> T) and, 6.0% were codons 71/72 (+A)]. There were three...
