Abstract excerpt
We identified and characterized a novel beta-thalassemia (beta-thal) mutation due to a deletion of cytosine at codons 77/78 (-C) [CAC(His) CA- or CTG(Leu)--> -TG] found in a heterozygous state in four members of a Mexican family. The beta haplotype analysis performed on the family revealed that the frameshift at codons 77/78 (-C) mutation in this family is associated with haplotype V [- + - - - + ] and framework...
