distribution of β-globin gene mutations in thalassemia minor population of kerman province, iran
background: mutations in β -globin gene may result in β-thalassemia major, which is one of the most common genetic disorders in iran and some other countries. knowing the beta-globin mutation spectrum improves the efficiency of prenatal diagnosis in the affected fetuses (major β-thalassemia) of heterozygote couples. methods: couples with high hemoglobin a 2 and low mean corpuscular volume we...

متن کاملdetection of rare beta globin gene mutations in northwestern iran
introduction: recent molecular studies on iranian β-thalassemia genes revealed the presence of eight common mutations associated with thalassemia. although these mutations are frequent, there are other rare and unknown mutations that can create large problems in designing preventive programs. we detected and explained the common mutations in north-western iran previously and detection of the ra...
متن کاملSpectrum of Beta Globin Gene Mutations in Egyptian Children with β-Thalassemia
BACKGROUND The molecular defects resulting in a β-thalassemia phenotype, in the Egyptian population, show a clear heterogenic mutations pattern. PCR-based techniques, including direct DNA sequencing are effective on the molecular detection and characterization of these mutations. The molecular characterization of β-thalassemia is necessary for carrier screening, genetic counseling, and to offer...
متن کاملRapid screening of β-Globin gene mutations by Real-Time PCR in Egyptian thalassemic children
Thalassemia is one of the most common genetic disorders in Egypt. With the total population of 70 million, there are approximately 600,000 affected individuals and more than 20 million thalassemia carriers. Thalassemia is therefore one of the major health problems in Egypt. B-Thalassemias are priority genetic diseases for prevention programs. Rapid genotype characterization is fundamental in th...
