Abstract excerpt
Hematological and hemoglobin composition data are presented for 14 members of a Surinam family (and for 1 unrelated subject) with either a beta-thalassemia heterozygosity [5 with the -29 (A----G) beta + mutation and 5 with the IVS II-849 (A----G) beta(0) mutation] or a compound heterozygosity (the 5 remaining patients). Identification of the mutation was by hybridization of amplified DNA with 32P-labelled...
