Hemoglobinopathies are the most common inherited diseases worldwide. Various methods for genotyping of hemoglobin, beta (HBB) gene mutations have been reported, but there is need for a high sample-throughput, cost-effective method for simultaneous screening of several mutations. We report a method that combines the high detectability and dynamic range of chemiluminescence with the high allele-discrimination ability of probe extension reactions for simultaneous genotyping of 15 HBB mutations in a high sample-throughput, dry-reagent format.
