We describe a novel frameshift mutation associated with an α-thalassemia (α-thal) phenotype in a patient of Sudanese origin investigated for persistent microcytosis. In addition to the α(3.7) deletion, a novel mutation on the α2 gene was detected: HBA2:c.323delT. This mutation causes a frameshift at codon 107 of the α2 gene. The result is a disturbed amino acid sequence for the following 24 amino acids, and a...
