β-Thalassemia (β-thal) is an inherited blood disorder characterized by reduced or absent synthesis of the β chains of hemoglobin (Hb). Although more than 900 β-globin gene mutations around the world have been identified, here we report a novel mutation detected in a Chinese subject of Han ethnicity. This allele develops by insertion of one nucleotide (+T) at codon 130 (HBB: c.391insT) in the third exon of the...
