Molecular characterization of mutations causing β-thalassemia in Faisalabad Pakistan using the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS-PCR)
BACKGROUND: Faisalabad is the third biggest city of Pakistan. Majority of the population is Punjabi while other ethnic groups are in minority. AIMS: The present study was undertaken to find the mutations causing β-thalassemia in Faisalabad Pakistan. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 285 β-globin alleles from 143 unrelated families having at least one transfusion-dependent child were analyzed by...
متن کاملDetection of the most common mutations causing beta-thalassemia in Mediterraneans using a multiplex amplification refractory mutation system (MARMS).
A rapid, simple, cost-effective, non-radioactive method for detection of the most common mutations causing beta-thalassemia in Mediterranean people has been developed by combining multiplexing with the amplification refractory system. This approach, the multiplex amplification refractory mutation system (MARMS), provides an easy assay for direct detection of normal and mutant beta-globin genes ...
متن کاملGenetic analysis in cystic fibrosis using the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS): the J3.11 MspI polymorphism.
A new method of genetic analysis has been devised. The method, amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS), has been used to genotype the J3.11 MspI restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) closely linked to cystic fibrosis (CF). The DNA sequence for both alleles of this dimorphism has been used to design ARMS primers. These allow genotyping of DNA isolated from blood, Guthrie cards,...
متن کاملAnalysis of any point mutation in DNA. The amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS).
We have improved the "polymerase chain reaction" (PCR) to permit rapid analysis of any known mutation in genomic DNA. We demonstrate a system, ARMS (Amplification Refractory Mutation System), that allows genotyping solely by inspection of reaction mixtures after agarose gel electrophoresis. The system is simple, reliable and non-isotopic. It will clearly distinguish heterozygotes at a locus fro...
متن کاملMultiplex amplification refractory mutation system (MARMS) for the detection of β-globin gene mutations among the transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia Malay patients in Kelantan, Northeast of Peninsular Malaysia.
The aim of this study was to adapt MARMS with some modifications to detect beta mutation in our cohort of thalassemia patients. We focused only on transfusion-dependent thalassemia Malay patients, the predominant ethnic group (95%) in the Kelantanese population. Eight mutations were identified in 46 out of 48 (95.83%) beta thalassemia alleles. Most of the patients (54.2%) were compound heterozy...
