Detection of eight beta-thalassemia mutations using a DNA enzyme immunoassay.

Abstract excerpt

We describe the use of a polymerase chain reaction-based method followed by a DNA enzyme immunoassay for the simultaneous detection of the eight most common beta-thalassemia mutations in the Mediterranean population. The method is specific, sensitive, and easily applicable in routine clinical laboratories for the molecular diagnosis of beta-thalassemia patients and at risk couples.
