Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hemoglobin H (Hb H) disease can be caused by compound heterozygosity for two different mutations or from homozygotes for mutations, and conventional genetic methods may lead to misdiagnosis when Hb H disease is combined with a rare β-thalassemia. METHODS: Hematology parameters and hemoglobin electrophoresis analysis, gap-polymerase chain reaction (gap-PCR) and reverse dot-blot hybridization (RDB-PCR)...
