Molecular and phenotype characterization of an elongated β-globin variant produced by HBB:C.313delA.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: β-thalassemia is a severe hereditary hemolytic anemia. Due to the diversity of mutations spectrum, β-thalassemia manifests a highly heterogeneous clinical severity. We noted that a previous report characterized HBB:c.313delA, at the end of exon 2, as a β-thalassemia trait rather than dominant β-thalassemia, the classification given to similar mutations. We further explored the impact of this...
