Abstract excerpt
The β-thalassemias are an increasing challenge to health systems worldwide, caused by absent or reduced β-globin (HBB) production. Of particular frequency in many Western countries is HBBIVSI-110(G > A) β-thalassemia (HGVS name: HBB:c.93-21G > A). Its underlying mutation creates an abnormal splice acceptor site in the HBB gene, and while partially retaining normal splicing of HBB, it severely reduces HBB protein...
