Abstract excerpt
Hemoglobinopathies represent the most common genetic disorder worldwide, with a higher prevalence among populations with a history of malaria endemicity. More than 690 mutations in the human beta-globin gene are usually the cause of beta-type hemoglobinopathies. Here, we report a rapid and highly sensitive beta-globin gene mutation screening approach based on denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography...
