Abstract excerpt
The frequency of alpha-thalassemias in a general population sample from northeastern Thailand and in an Austroasiatic group with high frequencies of hemoglobin E and beta-thalassemia, the So, was estimated using DNA techniques. Among 64 healthy adult subjects from the Khonkaen and Ubol areas, the following haplotype frequencies were determined: alpha alpha, 0.742; -alpha 3.7 (subtype I), 0.148; -alpha 4.2, 0.016;...
