Beta(0)-thalassaemia intermedia (beta(0)-TI) describes patients who lack beta-globin synthesis yet manifest a non-transfusion-dependent form of beta-thalassaemia. Co-inheritance of alpha-thalassaemia, certain variants of the beta-like globin gene cluster and elevated fetal haemoglobin (HbF) production are all associated with beta(0)-TI. However, the mild phenotypes of many beta(0)-TI patients are unexplained....
