Abstract excerpt
The IVS-1-110 (G----A) and IVS-1-1 (G----A) mutations occur in approximately 33% and 9% respectively of beta-thalassaemia alleles in Mediterraneans (Kazazian & Boehm, 1988). They are generally detected in polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified material by allele-specific oligonucleotide (ASO) hybridization patterns. In this study, artificial base substitutions in amplified material have been created to...
