Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Beta-thalassemia (β-thal) is frequent in Mexican patients with microcytosis and hypochromia. We report three novel mutations and analyze the actual mutational spectrum in Mexican population. METHODS: One hundred and forty-nine β-thal Mexican mestizo patients were studied (154 alleles). ARMS-PCR was performed to identify Cd39C>T, IVS1:1G>A, IVS1:110G>A, -28A>C, initiation codonA>G and IVS1:5G>A...
