Abstract excerpt

Beta-thalassemia (thal) is a common single-gene disease worldwide. However, the prevalence of beta-thal and the spectrum of beta-globin gene mutations in Filipinos remain unclear. This study sought to answer these two questions. A total of 2954 apparently healthy Filipinos in Taiwan were recruited for a prevalence study. A complete blood count was done in every subject. Those with microcytosis were studied with...
