Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: There are approximately 800 different genomic alterations of the β-globin gene described in the human hemoglobin variant (HbVar) database. In this study, we have identified two novel putative mutations (HBB:c.*+108 A>G and HBB:c.*+132 C>T) in the 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the β-globin gene and describe their clinical implications. METHODS: Four patients from two unrelated families, all with...
