Abstract excerpt

In order to delineate the spectrum of beta-globin gene defects causing beta-thalassemia in the Oran region of Algeria, we have analyzed a representative sample of 31 beta-thalassemia patients. This led to the detection of 10 mutations. Four of them [nonsense codon 39 (C->T), IVS-I-110 (G->A), IVS...
