Abstract excerpt
Genetic recombination between homologous sequences on the human globin gene clusters can lead to the creation of fusion genes. In this study, we report the detection of an α-globin fusion gene by using real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)-based multicolor melting curve analysis (MMCA). The carriers of this fusion gene had a mild α-thalassemia phenotype with a normal hemoglobin (Hb) value and borderline...
