Prevalence and mutational landscape of Beta Thalassemia Trait in Abbotabad and Harripur districts, a cross-sectional but alarming picture. The mutational spectrum in this study closely resembles our Sanger detected mutations in affected individuals and Traits.

at ACGT KMU, we are looking forward to collaboration with this team, as ACGT KMU is working on molecular characterization of Beta Thalassemia through Sanger sequencing.

Premarital, prenatal, and neonatal or patients testing is highly recommended in families with a history of thalassemia, or consanguineous marriages.

Background β-thalassemia is a common autosomal recessive blood disorder caused by mutations in the β-globin gene, with highly variable carrier frequencies across different regions. In Pakistan, cultural practices such as consanguineous marriages, combined with limited access to genetic screening, ...

Genomic Surveillance of the Covid-19 causing virus was the stimulus that caused the creation of the Genomics lab at Khyber Medical University.
With limited resources, no direct training, and extremely challenging NGS workflow of Whole Genome Sequencing on the Latest Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) MinION was what were facing back in 2021.
We did that miracle, the First WGS of SARS-CoV-2, in our inhouse facility, from Library prep to analysis, and we celebrated that day.
We never stopped after that, and when the pandemic was gone, despite immense challenges, we still managed to sustain this wonderful facility, we will never stop.
