Abstract excerpt
β-thalassemia is one of the most common inherited autosomal disorders in the northern Iraqi Kurdistan region. This study reports a rare mutation in the initiation codon of the β-globin gene (HBB: c.2T > C; p.Met1Thr) in an 11-year-old male with severe transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia. Molecular testing to uncover the mutations of the β-globin gene in the proband and his parents was performed by amplification...
