Rapid Molecular Detection for Differentiation of Homozygous HbE and ß0-Thalassemia/HbE in Samples Related With HbE >80% and Variable HbF Levels.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To validate a novel rapid molecular testing method for differentiation of homozygous hemoglobin (Hb)E and HbE/β 0-thalassemia genotypes using multiplex melt curve combined with high-resolution melt (HRM) analysis in a single test tube. METHODS: All 10 genotypes contained (β N/β N; n = 95), (β N/β 3.5-kb; n = 71), (β N/β 45-kb; n = 28), (β N/β E; n = 10), (β E/β 3.5-kb; n = 6), (β E/β 45-kb; n = 4),...
