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...
