Diagnosis of α-thalassaemia by colorimetric gap loop mediated isothermal amplification

Abstract excerpt

Abstract α-Thalassaemia is an inherited haemoglobin disorder that results from the defective synthesis of α-globin protein. Couples whom both carry the α-thalassaemia 1 gene are at risk of having a foetus with the most severe thalassaemia, Hb Bart’s hydrops fetalis, with a risk of maternal mortality. However, haematological parameters alone cannot distinguish between a α-thalassaemia 1 carrier and a homozygous...
