Abstract excerpt
We used quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and high resolution melting (HRM) analyses for the detection of the common α-thalassemia (α-thal) genotypes in 40 northern Thai Hb H (β4) patients. The α(0)-thal [- -(SEA) (Southeast Asian) deletion] was detected by a multiplex gap real-time PCR. To determine the α(+)-thal, three primer pairs were designed. The A-primer pair was used to amplify the...
