Broader spectrum of β-thalassemia mutations in Oman: regional distribution and comparison with neighboring countries.

Abstract excerpt

The objective of this study was to expand and study the molecular spectrum of β-thalassemia (β-thal) mutations in Oman by examining cases from seven different regions and comparing the prevalence with neighboring countries. A total of 446 cases of β hemoglobinopathies was obtained and analyzed to determine the frequency and distribution of the different β alleles. The molecular spectrum of β-thal in Oman revealed...
