THALASSEMIA: MOLECULAR GENETIC DIAGNOSTIC METHODS

Abstract
Thalassemias can be defined as α- or β-thalassemias depending on the defective globin chain and the underlying molecular defects. The article presents the current molecular genetics methods of investigation used in clinical-laboratory and research practice.
Keywords
α- or β-thalassemia, globin chain, molecular defects, molecular genetic methods of research.
