Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The aim of the study was to set up an alternative automatic molecular diagnostic method for deletional α-thalassaemia mutations without gel electrophoresis. METHODS: Based on the sequence variation within the two Z boxes and melting curve analysis of dually labelled probes, a real-time PCR assay was developed and validated for the rapid detection of major α-genotypes (--(SEA)/αα, --(SEA)/-α(3.7),...
