The Clinical Approach to Thalassaemia
TL;DR: Reading the clinical approach to thalassaemia is a good habit; you can develop this habit to be such interesting way to be one of guidance of your life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct gene analysis of chorionic villi: A possible technique for first-trimester antenatal diagnosis of haemoglobinopathies.
TL;DR: Single chorionic villi were obtained before elective abortion from pregnancies of 8-14 weeks' duration, and accurate globin gene analysis proved possible with the DNA obtained from these samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of thalassaemia intermedia with a beta-globin gene haplotype
S. L. Thein,J. S. Wainscoat,Maurizio Sampietro,John M. Old,D. Cappellini,Gemino Fiorelli,B. Modell,David J. Weatherall +7 more
TL;DR: Much of the observed clinical variability of β thalassaemia can now be explained by the inheritance ofβ thalASSaemia chromosomes with different propensities for fetal haemoglobin production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Model for antenatal diagnosis of β -thalassaemia and other monogenic disorders by molecular analysis of linked DNA polymorphisms
TL;DR: In the populations investigated there is no constant pattern of polymorphism that segregates with the β-thalassaemia gene, so the use of linked polymorphisms should, therefore, be applicable to antenatal diagnosis both ofβ-thalASSaemia and of any other single-gene defect for which there is a DNA probe specific for a sequence linked to the affected locus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Presence of gene for beta globin in homozygous beta0 thalassaemia.
P Tolstoshev,Joan Mitchell,George Lanyon,Robert Williamson,Sergio Ottolenghi,Paola Comi,Barbara Giglioni,Giuseppe Masera,B. Modell,David J. Weatherall,John B. Clegg +10 more
TL;DR: In one southern Italian and one Pakistani patient with homozygous beta0 thalassaemia in which no detectable betaglobin synthesis occurs and no beta-globin messenger RNA is found, the gene for beta globin has been shown to be present using complementary DNA.
