Abstract excerpt
Two brothers from a Chinese family with beta-thalassemia intermedia who harbor both alpha- and beta-globin gene defects are described. They are both compound heterozygous for codons 41/42 (-CTTT) beta0-thalassemia and nt - 28 (A > G) beta(+)-thalassemia mutations together with concurrent (- -SEA) alpha-thalassemia (SEA) deletion. One sibling also harbors Hb Westmead, giving an unusual genotype of...
