Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: beta-Thalassemia is one of the most common genetic diseases in humans. We developed an automated electronic microchip for fast and reliable detection of the nine most frequent mutations accounting for >95% of the beta-thalassemia alleles in the Mediterranean area. METHODS: We developed a microchip-based assay to identify the nine most frequent mutations (cd39C>T, IVS1-110G>A, IVS1-1G>A, IVS1-6T>C,...
