The spectrum of α- and β-thalassemia mutations in Yunnan Province of Southwestern China.

Abstract excerpt

The aim of this study was to investigate the spectrum of thalassemia mutations in Yunnan Province, Southwestern China. We detected 450 thalassemia patients and carriers by multiplex gap polymerase chain reaction (gap-PCR), PCR reverse dot-blot hybridization and direct sequencing methods in 535 suspected patients. Four types of α-thalassemia (α-thal) mutations, - -(SEA) (59.2%), -α(3.7) (rightward) (19.0%), Hb...
