Analysis of beta globin gene mutations in Diyarbakir

Abstract

Hemoglobin disorders are quite heterogeneous in the Turkish population. Up to now, more than forty different beta thalassemia mutations and 60 hemoglobin variants have been characterized in the country. The aim of this study was to investigate genetic heterogeneity of HBB gene mutations in patients and their parents at Southeastern Anatolia in Turkey.
