Abstract excerpt
We have analysed the molecular basis of beta-thalassaemia in 22 Anglo-Saxon individuals, all of whom were heterozygous for beta-thalassaemia except for one, who was a compound heterozygote. Using a combination of allele-specific priming of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing of genomic DNA amplified by the PCR, 20/23 beta-thalassaemic genes were characterized. Nine different mutations were...
