Development and clinical validation of a novel detection kit for α-thalassemia in southern Chinese.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to develop and assess a novel reverse dot blot assay for the simultaneous detection of 10 types of α-thalassemia alleles in the Chinese population, including six common variants of-^SEA, -α^3.7, -α^4.2, α^CS, α^QS, and α^WS, and four rare variants of ααα^anti-4.2, ααα^anti-3.7, ^--FIL deletion and^--THAI deletion.

Methods

The novel thalassemia gene assay utilized a two-tier multiplex polymerase chain reaction amplification system and one round of hybridization. Genomic DNA samples were sourced from three hospitals in southern China. Each clinically validated DNA sample was re-evaluated using the new multiplex polymerase chain reaction/reverse dot blo
