Abstract excerpt
We have used restriction site-dependent polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methodology for detection of the alpha-globin polyadenylation (poly A) signal mutation, AATAAA>AATA- - and Hb Sun Prairie [alpha 130(H13)Ala-->Pro, GCT>CCT (alpha2)] mutation. The former mutation produces Hb H disease in the homozygous state and occurs frequently in the Indian population. It was detected in nine of 77 putative...
