Abstract Background: Hemoglobin-associated disorder is a different group of recessive genetic diseases. Which consist of the structural hemoglobin variants and the thalassemia.Aim of the study: to characterize the spectrum of beta globin gene mutations in patients with beta- thalassemia who are registered in thalassemia centers, Wasit, Iraq using PCR - based DNA diagnostic techniques. Patients and methods: The genomic DNA was extracted from 106 Iraqi patients with β-thalassemia major and intermedia from unrelated families and (50) healthy numbers as control were collected from Al-Kut Hospital, in Wasit province, to detect mutation using PCR - based DNA diagnostic techniques. . | ||
