Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate a rapid molecular carrier screening strategy for beta-thalassemia. DESIGN AND METHODS: Allele-specific PCR was combined with amplicon detection by dissociation curve analysis of SYBR Green I fluorescence in a single step. RESULTS: The presence of a particular mutation results in the amplification of a mutation-specific product and the dissociation temperature of each...
