Abstract excerpt
We developed two sets of a multiplex amplification refractory mutation system (M-ARMS) assay to identify specific beta-thalassemia (beta-thal) mutations that are common in Thailand. The first one was for the detection of mutants with codon 17 (A>T), IV S-I-1 (G >T)), codons 41/42 (-TCT T) and codons 71/72 (+A), while the second one was for the -87 (C>A), -28 (A>G) and IVS-II-654 (C>T). Application of the proposed...
