Abstract excerpt
A new beta(0) thalassemia allele caused by a TGAT insert in codon 116 of exon III was detected in a patient compound heterozygous for beta(0) thalassemia / Hb D Los Angeles and his father. The mutation unexpectedly causes a classical thalassemic phenotype. The compound heterozygosity leads to mild microcytic anemia and no further clinical signs.
