Abstract excerpt
Thalassemia is one of the most prevalent genetic disorders worldwide. The present study aimed to explore the mutational spectrum of all hemoglobin (HB) encoding genes and to identify the potentially damaging and pathogenic variants in the beta (β)-thalassemia major patients and thalassemia minor carriers of Southern Punjab, Pakistan. A total of 49 β-thalassemia major patients and 49 carrier samples were screened...
