Abstract excerpt
The short tandem repeats (STR) are undoubtedly the most used molecular markers in genetic diversity studies. β-thalassemia is a hereditary hemolytic anemia which is a common health problem all over the world. The disease has two main clinical forms: the severe form or β-thalassemia major (TM) and the moderate form or β-thalassemia intermedia (TI). To help understand this inconsistency, five STR have been studied...
