One-step amplification refractory mutation system-PCR/high-resolution melting curve assay for carrier detection of red blood cell membranopathy caused by common SPTB mutations.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis (HPP) is the most common cause of non-thalassemic severe inherited hemolytic anemia in Thai population. Up to 90% of affected patients harbor biallelic mutations of SPTB Providence (SPTB c.6055T>C), SPTB Buffalo (SPTB c.6074T>G), and SPTB Chiang Mai (SPTB c.6224A>G). This study aimed to develop a simple assay for mass screening of the three common SPTB mutations and to...
