Mild α-Thalassemia Caused by a Mosaic α-Globin Gene Mutation.

Abstract excerpt

We describe a new α-globin chain variant in a Chinese subject. This novel variant, with a Val→Met substitution at codon 93 of the α-globin chain, has been named Hb Qingcheng (HBA1: c.280G>A) for where the proband was born. A woman with somatic mosaicism for Hb Qingcheng presented with the phenotype of mild α-thalassemia (α-thal).
