Abstract excerpt
The polymorphic sites across the beta gene cluster (restriction haplotypes) in association with specific thalassaemic mutations were analyzed in representative samples of normal and thalassaemic Greeks in comparison to similar data of other populations around the mediterranean basin. We studied 316 normal chromosomes, 218 chromosomes from patients with thalassaemia major and 72 chromosomes from patients with...
