The association of alfa-gene quadruplication and heterozygous beta-thalassemia has been recognized in individuals and families whose thalassemia intermedia has previously been attributed to the interaction of heterozygous beta-thalassemia and an unknown melecular defect unlinked to the beta-cluster. The MLPA method was applied and revealed an extended duplication on the alfa-cluster in 19 of them.

Abstract
The association of alfa-gene quadruplication and heterozygous beta-thalassemia has been recognized in individuals and families whose thalassemia intermedia has previously been attributed to the interaction of heterozygous beta-thalassemia and an unknown melecular defect unlinked to the beta-cluster. The MLPA method was applied and revealed an extended duplication on the alfa-cluster in 19 of them.File in questo prodotto:
