Abstract excerpt
In vitro DNA amplification and dot blot analysis with synthetic allele specific oligonucleotides (ASO) identified the beta + IVS, I-6 (T --> C) thalassaemia in 78% of 32 chromosomes from 16 beta-thalassaemia homozygotes in Malta. The preponderance of a single thalassaemia mutation in one population is unusual. The beta + IVS, I-6C thalassaemia mutation was also found in three carriers who had an associated beta...
