Haplotype analysis of β-Thalassaemia major and carriers with Filipino β°-deletion in Sabah, Malaysia
Objective: The Filipino β°-deletion has been reported as a unique mutation in East Malaysia with a severe phenotype due to the complete absence of β-globin chain synthesis. In this study, the haplotype patterns of the β-globin gene cluster were used to relate the human genetic variation...
