The Spectrum of α-Thalassemia Mutations in Syrian Patients.

Abstract excerpt

α-Thalassemia (α-thal) is a globally prevalent genetic disorder of hemoglobin (Hb) structure where the rate of α-globin chain synthesis is reduced or absent due to the presence of α-globin mutation(s). The aim of this study is to define the spectrum of α-globin gene mutations and evaluate their allele frequency in a group of α-thal carriers. A total of 55 individuals with possible α-thal patients were referred...
