Abstract excerpt
Polymerase chain reaction-based techniques were used to study the molecular defects of 480 unrelated beta-thalassemia heterozygotes in Taiwan. Analysis of artificially created restriction sites and gap-polymerase chain reaction were performed to detect four common mutations, i.e. IVS-II-654 (C-->T), codons 41/42 (-TCTT), codon 17 (A-->T), -28 (A-->G), and a deletional form of delta beta-thalassemia in the Chinese...
