However, despite the ability to accurately define the beta-thalassaemia mutations, prediction of a beta-thalassaemia intermedia phenotype from the genotype sometimes remains problematic and this has important implications in genetic counselling and prenatal diagnosis. We report a 11-year-old Indian...
