[0001] The invention relates to the field of biochemistry, in particular to reagents for measuring or testing methods comprising nucleic acids. Background technique
[0002] The human α-globin gene cluster is located on chromosome 16. There are three functional genes ζ, α1, and α2, which express the corresponding ζ and α globin chains, and then combine with the corresponding β globin chains to form ζ2γ2 (embryonic hemoglobin Hb Portland) and α2β2 (adult hemoglobin HbA). Normally, the human globin gene expresses an appropriate ratio of α- and β-globin chains to form a functional hemoglobin tetramer. When the α-globin gene is defective, the α-chain synthesis is reduced and the β-chain is relatively excess, which can lead to α-thalassemia disease. Thalassemia (referred to as "thalassemia") is one of the most common single-gene genetic diseases that have the greatest impact on human health in the world. It is mainly concentrated in countries along the Mediterra...
