Abstract excerpt
We have developed a rapid approach to detect the two most common alpha-thalassemia-2 (alpha-thal-2) determinants by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, which takes a few hours to complete. Specific oligonucleotides selectively amplify appropriate segments of the chromosome with the deletion and the normal chromosome under identical experimental conditions, and the products are identified by...
