Abstract excerpt
beta-Thalassemia is one of the most common autosomal recessive single-gene disorders in Cyprus. Development of a noninvasive prenatal diagnostic (NIPD) assay for beta-thalassemia is based mostly on the detection of paternally inherited single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using the arrayed primer extension (APEX) method. Eleven SNPs with high degree of heterozygosity in the Cypriot population were selected and...
