Abstract
Background: Beta-thalassemia is one of the most common genetic diseases with autosomal recessive inherited patterns in the world and is one of the most common diseases in Iran that exists in all age and sex groups. Determining gene mutations in this disease can be effective in controlling and treating the disease. The present study determined the frequency of polymorphisms of Hinc, RSaI, RDB, and Xmn in patients with beta-thalassemia minor in Ardabil province. Methods: 53 beta-thalassemia patients referred to the genetic department of Imam Khomeini Hospital were studied. Blood samples were taken to determine the type of gene mutation. PCR samples were genetically evaluated to determine genetic mutations using RDB-Sequence-RFLP-Haplotype methods. Results: A total of 53 samples were examined, of which 56.6% were male and the rest were female. The most positive cases in the first and second ranks were related to XmnI and AvaII enzymes with 73.5% and 60.3%, respectively. The most common mutation extracted in the studied samples with 14 cases (26.4%) was IVS2.1. Among the most common mutations extracted by the RDB method was related to IVS 1.2 with 26.4%. Conclusions: The results of the present study showed that the distribution of genetic mutations in the studied samples can be different from other places. Also, by performing targeted genetic counseling, it is possible to control and prevent the disease in the future.

Also, all the figures and tables in the article must be original and the copyright permission of images must be prepared by authors. However, some articles may have flaws and have passed the journal filter, which dear authors may find fault with. Therefore, the editor of the journal asks the authors, if they see an error in the published articles of the journal, to email the article information along with the documents to the journal office.
CMBR Journal welcomes letters to the editor ([email protected], [email protected]) for the post-publication discussions and corrections which allows debate post publication on its site, through the Letters to Editor. Critical letters can be sent to the journal editor as soon as the article is online. Following points are to be considering before sending the letters (comments) to the editor.
[1] Letters that include statements of statistics, facts, research, or theories should include appropriate references, although more than three are discouraged.
[2] Letters that are personal attacks on an author rather than thoughtful criticism of the author’s ideas will not be considered for publication.
[3] There is no limit to the number of words in a letter.
[4] Letter writers should include a statement at the beginning of the letter stating that it is being submitted either for publication or not.
[5] Anonymous letters will not be considered.
[6] Letter writers must include Name, Email Address, Affiliation, mobile phone number, and Comments.
[7] Letters will be answered as soon as possible.
