Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Current methods of prenatal diagnosis to detect beta-thalassemia are Sanger sequencing and reverse dot blot. These methods are time-consuming and can prolong assay turnaround time. We aim to develop a sensitive and rapid method to detect 27 beta-thalassemia mutations using pyrosequencing. METHOD: Pyrosequencing primer pairs and sequencing primers were designed to detect 27 most common beta-thalassemia...
