Molecular characterization of β-thalassemia in four communities in South Gujarat--codon 30 (G → A) a predominant mutation in the Kachhiya Patel community.

Abstract excerpt

Different thalassemia mutations have been reported in various ethnic groups and geographical regions in India. In this study, we have investigated Kachhiya Patel, Dhodia Patel, Modh Bania, and Muslim communities of Surat, Gujarat to identify molecular defects causing β-thalassemia in them. Covalent reverse dot blot hybridization technique was used to detect six common Indian β-thalassemia mutations while the...
