α(+)-Thalassemia trait caused by a frameshift mutation in exon 2 of the α2-globin gene [HBA2 c.244delT].

Abstract excerpt

We report a case of α(+)-thalassemia (α(+)-thal) trait caused by a novel frameshift mutation in exon 2 of the α2-globin gene, specifically a deletion of a single nucleotide at amino acid codon 81 [HBA2 c.244delT]. The mutation results in a premature termination of translation at codon 83.
