Abstract excerpt
A rapid nonradioactive method for the diagnosis of the most frequent Mediterranean beta-thalassemic mutations is described based on a multiplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This method allows direct detection of normal or mutated alleles on genomic DNA. We have used this approach to detect the most frequent Mediterranean mutations: IVS-1 nt 110 (G----A) and 39 nonsense (C----T). For each...
