Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Thalassemia is a common genetic disorder in southwestern China, and an increasing number of cases from eastern China have been recently reported. Here, we developed a rapid, convenient, and accurate assay to evaluate the mutation spectrum of thalassemia in eastern China. METHODS: A carrier screening assay for 61 hotspot variants among HBA1/HBA2 and HBB (OMIM: 141800, 141850, and 141900) genes was...
