The molecular basis of .beta.o-thalassemia/HbE disease in 30 Thai patients was investigated using DNA amplification and dot-blot hybridization with a number of allele specific oligonucleotide probes. The mutations identified were 17 cases of 4 base-pair deletion at codons 41-42, 4 cases of amber mutation at codon 17, and one case each of an ochre mutation at codon 35, a single base substitution at position 5 of IVS-1, and a single base substitution at position 654 of IVS-2.
