| Abstract | To determine the frequencies of beta-thalassemia mutations in different states of India and to compare this with the available data in Asian Indians for a comprehensive catalogue of molecular defects in the Indian population. beta-thalassemia mutations were characterized in 2456 heterozygotes using reverse dot blot hybridization, ARMS and DNA sequencing. 36 beta-thalassemia mutations were characterized from 18 different states in India. Seven mutations were common, accounting for 95.8% of mutated alleles. Marked regional diversity was seen in different parts of the country. Among the tribal populations, only 2 mutations (IVS I-5 (G-->C) and CD15 (G-->A) accounted for over 90% of mutant alleles. A compilation of all the studies in Asian Indians reported so far showed the presence of 63 mutations in the Indian population. This large study adds to the existing data to give a detailed account of the molecular basis of beta-thalassemia in India. This information is important for establishing prenatal diagnosis programmes in different states in India as well as other countries in which there is a major influx of Indian immigrants. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
