Abstract excerpt
Point mutations of alpha-globin genes in homozygous or in compound heterozygous states cause severe alpha-thalassemia (alpha-thal). Here we describe a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism-based method for easy detection of the point mutation Hb Sallanches [alpha104(G11)Cys-->Tyr, TGC>TAC], earlier detected by a sequencing technique. In a cohort of 104 unrelated putative alpha-thal...
