Abstract excerpt
A rapid, simple, cost-effective, non-radioactive method for detection of the most common mutations causing beta-thalassemia in Mediterranean people has been developed by combining multiplexing with the amplification refractory system. This approach, the multiplex amplification refractory mutation system (MARMS), provides an easy assay for direct detection of normal and mutant beta-globin genes in homozygotes and...
