Abstract excerpt
We report a useful method for daily clinical examination for the diagnosis of thalassemia. We applied a fluorescence-based image analyser to a non-radioisotopic PCR-single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis to detect mutations in the beta-globin gene. PCR primers were labelled with rhodamine X and the amplified fragments from the beta-globin gene were resolved by non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel...
