Abstract excerpt
HBD: c.442T>C is a new mutation at the stop codon (TGA>CGA) of the δ-globin gene, which produces a new codon for arginine. This substitution causes a 51 nucleotides longer open reading frame determining the synthesis of a potential larger δ subunit, which is a probable target of mechanisms for the degradation of aberrant proteins as well as the defective synthesized mRNA molecules, and may also be rapidly...
