Abstract excerpt
We studied 41 patients with beta-thalassaemia major and their parents by using a combination of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, slot-blot hybridization of allele-specific oligonucleotide (ASO), and direct genomic sequencing. Eight different point mutations were characterized. C to T substitution at nucleotide (nt) 654 of intervening sequences (IVS) 2, accounting for 46.3% of mutant beta-globin...
