Beta Thalassaemia Mutations in Malays: a simplified cost-effective strategy to identify the mutations
Background/Aims: Beta (β)- thalassaemia is a public health problem in Malaysia. The carrier rate is estimated to be 4.5 by micro-mapping studies particularly among Malays who comprise 53.5 of the population in Malaysia (1). The common diagnostic method in Malaysia for mutation detection is by ampli...
