title: Cloning and sequencing of a beta-thalassemia gene from south China.
abstract: A beta-thalassemia gene from a patient with beta+-thalassemia in South China was cloned and sequenced. A four nucleotide (TCTT) deletion in codons 41 and 42 was found. This is the most common beta-thalassemia gene in South China and the first mutant identified on China mainland.
