Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Xue-Wei Tang"
- Xue-Wei Tang's recent research primarily focuses on advanced diagnostic methods for thalassemia, including real-time PCR-based multicolor melting curve analysis (MMCA) and long-read single-molecule real-time sequencing to detect rare mutations and enhance prenatal screening processes in large populations.
- Tang's studies have reported novel genetic variations linked to thalassemia, such as the discovery of a new δ/β-globin gene fusion and a unique deletion in the α-globin gene cluster, expanding the knowledge of thalassemia genetics within Chinese populations.
- The author also emphasizes the limitations of traditional diagnostic techniques, demonstrating the efficacy of new methodologies to improve the accuracy of genetic testing for hematologic disorders and supporting better-informed clinical interventions.
