During a survey for beta-thalassemia in Kashi City, Xinjiang Province, P.R. China, four unrelated Uygur students were identified as heterozygotes for the beta-thalassemia frameshift at codon 8 (-AA). Detection was with the polymerase chain reaction combined with allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization. This beta-thalassemia allele has not been observed in the Chinese population before and might be rather specific for the Uygur nationality.
在中国新疆喀什市进行β地中海贫血调查期间,发现4名互不相关的维吾尔族学生是β地中海贫血第8密码子移码突变(-AA)的杂合子。检测方法为聚合酶链反应结合等位基因特异性寡核苷酸杂交。此前在中国人群中未观察到这种β地中海贫血等位基因,它可能是维吾尔族特有的。
