Abstract excerpt
We evaluated potential screening protocols for alpha-thalassemia in a group of 80 patients whose genotypes were determined by Southern blot analysis with alpha- and zeta-globin DNA probes. Erythrocyte inclusion bodies were measured by a modified brilliant cresyl blue test. Erythrocyte indices and...
