Abstract excerpt
We describe five Chinese individuals carrying a codon 30 (-GAG) (α2) (HBA2: c.91_93del) mutation, including three heterozygotes and two patients with Hb H (β4) disease. The heterozygotes presented hematological parameters of microcytosis and hypochromia. The Hb H disease patients were transfusion-independent and had survived to adulthood. Screening for this nondeletional allele, and correlation of genotype with...
