Abstract excerpt
Based on a novel Q-primer real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system, we designed allele-specific Q-primers for the detection of three beta-thalassemia mutations [Cd41/42(-TCTT), IVSI nt5 (G>C), and IVSII nt654 (C>T)] that have a high carrier frequency in Southeast Asia. With clear distinction between heterozygote and wild-type, DeltaC(t) (threshold cycle) values were defined. The results of evaluating 139...
