Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To report the analysis of a rare beta-thalassemia ternary heterozygote [+40 to +43(-AAAC)*CD41/42(-TTCT)*IVS-2-654] causing beta-thalassemia major in a Chinese. METHODS: Using PCR-ASO probe hybridization analysis to scan 17 known types of beta-thalassemia mutations, and gene cloning and DNA sequencing to identify the underlying causative mutation. RESULTS: Reverse dot blot (RDB) analysis showed that...
