Abstract excerpt
In this study, we describe the clinical features and provide experimental analyses of a novel point mutation affecting the penultimate nucleotide of the first exon of the HBA2 (HBA2: c.94A > G) gene identified in a 26-year-old female who also carries a heterozygous Hb E (HBB: c.79G > A) variant. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of this point mutation on the transcriptional activity of the HBA2...
