Contribution to the description of the beta-thalassemia spectrum in Tunisia and the origin of mutation diversity.

Abstract excerpt

We determined the spectrum of beta-thalassemia (thal) mutations in 118 affected unrelated patients with different forms of beta-thal. Using a combination of reverse dot-blot analysis, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR/RFLP) and direct nucleotide sequencing, we identified the largest spectrum of beta-thal mutations so far...
