Abstract excerpt
We have developed allele specific polymerase chain reaction (ASPCR) that allows rapid screening of the beta E-globin and common beta-thalassemia genes in Thailand. These non-radioactive methods are based on the amplification by the polymerase chain reaction of the beta E and beta-thalassemia specific DNA fragments using specific primers. With this approach, both heterozygote and homozygote for the disease could...
