Abstract excerpt
We report the characterization of seven different beta-thalassemia mutations in 131 newly diagnosed Portuguese beta-thalassemia heterozygotes. Methodology included the detection of abnormal fragments by agar gel electrophoresis of PCR-amplified DNA fragments after digestion with specific restrict...
