| pubmed-article:2399905 | pubmed:abstractText | We report here the identification of a 4 bp deletion in the A gamma T globin gene promoter by means of Fnu4HI digestion of DNA amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This deletion has been previously associated with haplotype II beta-thalassemia in Sardinia. This simple, non-radioactive procedure should facilitate the screening of various populations of normal and beta-thalassemic subjects for this specific genetic alteration. | lld:pubmed |
