  ABSTRACT: Twenty two haplotypes were generated from a pool of 60 unrelated Saudi β thalassemia major patients using previously described restriction sites in the β globin gene. Linkage disequilibrium analysis of the polymorphic sites was also conducted, a few identified haplotypes were novel while the remainder was previously reported, haplotype1222212 was the most frequent haplotype in the study group and a strong linkage disequilibrium between two polymorphic restriction sites in these β thalassemia patients was uncovered.
