Abstract excerpt
In 135 subjects from 54 unrelated families of Czech and Slovak families the authors identified 11 different beta-thalassaemic alleles. In 25 families they proved a IVS I-1 (G-A) mutation. Another 4 "mediterranean" mutations: IVS II-1 (G-A), IVS II-745 (C-G); IVS I-110 (G-A) and mutations in the codon 39 (C-T) were found in 18 families. Mutation IVS I-5 (G-C) found in one family is common in Asia. A frameshift at...
