Popis: The region of the crossover causing the Filipino type of α thalassaemia has been determined by examining similarity between the regions which had been indicated as involved in the crossover points by restriction mapping, using the published α-globin region DNA sequence. The crossover point was found in 21 base pairs between two Alu sequences using PCR primers flanking these Alu sequences. A simple PCR multiplex assay has been devised to detect heterozygotes and homozygotes.
