Abstract The molecular basis of most beta-thalassemia syndromes has been defined, while the spectrum of mutations causing delta-thalassemia is not well characterized. In an attempt to identify such mutations, the…
Abstract The prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) was studied in the Greek-speaking population in the southwestern district of Paphos and the eastern Famagusta area and in the Troodos mountains in…
Abstract The application of the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) to the detection of individual beta-thalassaemia mutations in heterozygous parents and "at risk" fetuses has been assessed in Indian and…
Abstract Preventive genetics services based on population screening are now an integral part of maternal and child health programmes. New developments in DNA technology, ultrasound scanning, and assay of factors…
Abstract Using oligonucleotide hybridisation or restriction endonuclease analysis, we have characterised the molecular defect in 94 patients with thalassaemia major and four with thalassaemia intermedia of Turkish Cypriot descent. We…
Abstract A 2 bp deletion in exon 10 of the CFTR gene, 1677delTA, which is very rare among CF chromosomes worldwide, was found to be a relatively common cause of…
Abstract Polycystic kidney disease is an inherited heterogeneous disorder that affects approximately 1:1000 Europeans. It is characterized mainly by the formation of cysts in the kidney that lead to end-stage…
Abstract We have determined the alpha-thalassaemia (alpha-thal) determinants in 78 patients with Hb H disease from Cyprus; 25 were Turkish Cypriots and 53 were Greek Cypriots. Four deletional and three…
