Key Points

The study aims to develop a strategy for genotyping α/β-thalassemia through the analysis of mRNA.
Analysis of coding sequences of HBA2, HBA1, HBB genes
Detection of coding-region mutations
Prediction of non-coding-region mutations
Assessment of gross deletions
Utilization of peripheral blood mRNA samples
High coverage of detected mutations
Low operational cost
Simple procedure for analysis
Effective prediction of non-coding mutations

Implication

An mRNA-based genotyping strategy detects mutations in thalassemia, indicating its potential for clinical use.

Abstract

This mRNA-based strategy enabled detection of coding-region mutations in the HBA2/HBA1/HBB and prediction of non-coding-region mutations as well as gross deletions with high coverage, low cost and simple operation.
