Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: alpha-Thalassemia, the most common single gene disorder in humans, is due to the absence of one (-alpha/alphaalpha) or both (--/alphaalpha) of the two functional alpha-globin genes (alpha1 and alpha2). The -alpha(3.7) and -alpha(4.2) single gene deletions are common in Southeast Asian populations. Southern blotting analysis and gap PCR assay are commonly used for the detection of such...
