Identification of carriers of haemophilia by polymerase chain reaction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The gene for the coagulation protein factor VIII contains several common restriction fragment length polymorphisms which can be used to analyse the pattern of inheritance of factor VIII alleles within families. This can be exploited to identify carriers of haemophilia, an X-linked inherited disorder characterised by deficiency of factor VIII. In this study the polymerase chain reaction was used to analyse a polymorphism recognised by the restriction enzyme Bcl1, located at intron 18 of the factor VIII gene. The restriction fragment patterns generated were used to track the inheritance of mutated factor VIII alleles within families allowing haemophilia carrier status to be determined in individuals at risk.

Brucellosis is primarily a worldwide zoonotic disease caused by Brucella species. The genus Brucella contains highly infectious species that are classified as biological threat agents. In this regard, the identification of Brucella can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process posing a real risk of laboratory-acquired infection to the laboratory staff. This stud...

HBB FSC 36-37 (-T) Gene Mutation Detection in Carriers of Thalassemia Minor Using High Resolution Melting Analysis
Beta-thalassemia is one of the most common autosomal recessive disorders in the world population resulting from over 200 different mutations of HBB gene. Beta-thalassemias are caused by point mutations or, more rarely, deletions in the HBB gene leading to reduced (beta+) or absent (beta0) synthesis of the beta chains of hemoglobin (Hb). High-resolution melting of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)...
