18 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
Using amplification, allele-specific oligonucleotide (ASO) hybridization and DNA sequencing we have documented the molecular basis of 64 alpha- and 123 beta-thalassemia (thal) chromosomes, and the haplotypes of 18 beta S chromosomes from patients followed in three hospitals in Kuwait. Of the 30 chromosomes from 15 patients with Hb H disease, 26 (86.7%) carried the polyadenylation (poly A) signal mutation...
