Molecular Characterization of α-Thalassemia Determinants, β-Thalassemia Alleles, and βs Haplotypes among Kuwaiti Arabs

Using amplification, allele-specific oligonucleotide (ASO) hybridization and DNA sequencing we have documented the molecular basis of 64 α- and 123 β-thalassemia (thai) chromosomes, and the haplotypes
