Molecular characterization of beta-thalassemia genes in an Argentine population.

Abstract excerpt

This study was designed to identify the beta-thalassemia mutations in an Argentine population. Seventy-one pediatric patients and 101 available relatives were studied (85 chromosomes). Diagnosis of beta-thalassemia was made by conventional hematological procedures. Molecular studies were carried out by dot-blot and restriction endonuclease analysis on amplified DNA to detect the eight most frequent mutations in...
