Abstract excerpt
A simple and rapid method for the molecular detection of beta-globin structural mutations is described using a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction of reticulocyte mRNA and direct sequencing of the product. The amplified segment (employing a sense primer 5'-ATTTGCTTCTGACACAACTGT-3', lo...
