Fig. 1. (a) Map of Thailand showing the areas where subjects were recruited. Southeast Asian ovalocytosis (SAO) gene frequencies observed in Thailand and neighboring countries are depicted ( indicates catchment areas being studied, indicates other areas in neighboring countries where SAO gene frequencies have been reported). (b) A representative gel electrophoresis for identification of SAO mutation by polymerase chain reaction. The amplified fragments of 175 and 148 bp represent normal and mutant alleles, respectively. Lane 1 is normal control; lane 2 is heterozygous for SAO and lanes 3–6 are normal subjects. M represents the HyperLadder V markers (Bioline Ltd, London, UK). transmembrane domain of band 3 protein. Interaction of SAO with anion exchanger 1 (AE1) mutations could lead to a distal renal tubular acidosis.It might be a cause of anemia and hyperbilirubinemia in neonates
