Abstract excerpt
alpha-Thalassemia is usually due to deletions within the alpha-globin gene cluster, leading to loss of function of one (-alpha) or both [-(alpha) or --] alpha-globin genes. Nondeletion mutations (denoted alpha alpha T or alpha T alpha) are less frequent and in Greece are not well defined. We report the analysis of 16 nondeletion alpha-thalassemia chromosomes using a polymerase chain reaction method to amplify...
