The main problem Investigated in this study was focused on responses toward the services provided by new private midwivery practitioner based on the popularity of the midwives themselves and the extent of facility completeness, in addition to the perspective and attitude of the consumers. The population under study was all pregnant women who chose to have private midwife practitioners for their…
The clinical diagnosis of thalassemia syndrome is not difficult to establish with relatively simple Investigations, but molecular study is needed to determine the genotype and for the prenatal diagnosis. In the molecular study, the DNA should be first amplifed and among the amplification techniques polymerase chain reaction is the simplest and the most rapid one. The procedure can in vitro ampl…
Beta-thalasemia is mainly caused by point mutation of Beta-gene. There are more than 130 mutations, while only a little more than 20 haplotypes in Beta-gene. Many types of mutation are associated with one haplotype. On the other hand, one type of mutation may be associated with more than one chromosome haplotypes. The association of mutation and haplotype raises many questions. An analysis of h…
A diagnosis of thalassemia has advanced from clinical to molecular in concordance with the advances in molecular biology. Since the introduction of polymerase chain reaction procedure-a practical in vitro procedure of deoxyribonucleic acid amplification-various diagnostic methods have been developed, to detects either gene deletions or point mutations. In a population where the spectrum of muta…
