With direct sequencing of the amplified cDNA, we analysed the transcript and mRNA splicing defect in a common Chinese beta-thalassemia mutant (IVS-II nt. 654 C-->T). The result shows that this mutant gene would not only produce abnormally processed beta-globin mRNA, but also transcribes a small amount of normally spliced mRNA, hence leading to beta+ thalassemia. The method described herein provides a simple and sensitive approach to the studies of gene expression and molecular defects in genetic diseases at transcriptional level.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
