Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to analyze the genotype of α and β-globin in Cantonese people to enhance genetic diagnosis for thalassemia.
  • Various methods like PCR and DHPLC were employed to diagnose thalassemia in 454 cases from Guangdong, revealing that 438 were affected, with a majority being α-thal cases.
  • The findings highlighted dominant mutations in α-thal and specific genotypes for β-thal, alongside the discovery of new SNPs, establishing the effectiveness of combining DHPLC with gene sequencing in detecting thalassemia mutations.

Objective: To evaluate malaria situation in areas of Yunnan Province bordering with Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam.

Methods: Blood samples on filter paper were collected from the entry people in March to December of 2007 involving 19 national and provincial ports of entry. Indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) was carried out by using the blood samples collected before June 30 as the first half year and after July 1 as the second half year.
