Abstract excerpt
A study for screening of beta-thalassaemia mutations by the Amplification Refractory Mutation System (ARMS) and haplotyping by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was undertaken because there was a paucity of data in Tamil Nadu in Southern India and to initiate a comprehensive prenatal diagnosis programme. A total of 294 alleles were analysed to study the nature of the mutations, of which 146 were beta-thalassaemia...
