This retrospectiv...
متن کاملSpectrum of beta-thalassaemia mutations in transfusion dependent thalassaemia patients: practical implications in prenatal diagnosis.
The study concerned the identification of the beta-thalassaemia mutations that were present in 24 patients with beta-thalassaemia major who were transfusion dependent. The application of a modified polymerase chain reaction, the amplification refractory system (ARMS) was found to be an effective and rapid method for the identification of the beta-thalassaemia mutations. Six different mutations ...
