Abstract excerpt
The polymerase chain reaction and oligonucleotide probe hybridization technique were applied to the detection of two common mutations of the beta-globin gene found in Chinese, namely the 4-base pair deletion at the 41-42 codons and the C to T substitution at nucleotide 654 of IVS-2. The accuracy of the method was established using beta-thalassemia cases with known mutations or haplotypes of the restriction...
