Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Haemoglobin (Hb) G-Philadelphia mutation is a common alpha-globin chain variant [α68(E17)Asn > Lys]. Combined high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and isoelectric focusing (IEF) can be used in a presumptive diagnosis of Hb G-Philadelphia, but there are other α-chain variants with a similar phenotype that cannot be excluded. Our aim was to develop a novel StyI restriction enzyme assay to...
