Real-time quantitative PCR analysis for α-thalassemia-1 of Southeast Asian type deletion in Taiwan

Since homozygosity of the α‐thalassemia‐1 of Southeast Asian (SEA) type deletion results in hydrops fetalis, a novel protocol based on the real‐time quantitating polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique has been developed to quantify the intact and aberrant α‐globin genes in adults. The ratio of th...
