Determination of the breakpoint and molecular diagnosis of a common α‐thalassaemia‐1 deletion in the Indian population
19 Nov 2003
Abstract excerpt
The previously described South African type alpha-thalassaemia-1 mutation was identified in Indian HbH patients using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) strategy. A multiplex PCR assay was devised to detect heterozygotes and homozygotes. This alpha-thalassaemia-1 mutation was found to be the commonest determinant causing HbH disease in this population. In one family this mutation was found in combination with a...
