Abstract excerpt
IVS-2-654 C-->T is a common Chinese beta-thalassaemia mutation. Previous studies report that this mutation resulted in the formation of an abnormally spliced mRNA and the absence of detectable normal beta-globin mRNA, hence the mutation was considered to cause beta o-thalassaemia. We recently used the method of PCR amplified cDNA copies of circulating erythroid cell mRNA to analyse the mutant gene transcripts and...
