Abstract excerpt
To study effects of ionizing radiation on apoptosis induction in leukocytes of alpha-thalassemia (alpha-thal) variants compared to normal controls, venous blood samples were obtained from 10 healthy volunteers and 30 alpha-thal patients. Different types alpha-thal were diagnosed by multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Blood samples were irradiated with three Gy gamma rays, used for comet assay, immediately...
