Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship of beta-thalassemia mutations and the single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) at position -158 of (G)Gamma-globin gene to the altered levels of fetal hemoglobin(Hb F) of beta-thalassemia heterozygotes. METHODS: Hb F was quantitated by alkali denaturation; beta-thalassemia mutations were determined by PCR-allelic specific oligonucleotide(PCR-ASO). The SNP at -158 was analyzed...
