The aim of our study was to reveal genotype-to-phenotype correlations of the most common β-thalassemia mutations in an Azerbaijani population. Patients with codon 8 (-AA), IVS-I-6 (T>C), and IVS-II-1 (G>A) mutations, which are reportedly the most common β-globin gene mutations among the local population, were tested for hematologic parameters....
