Abstract excerpt
We have identified two individuals of Greek Cypriot origin with thalassemia intermedia. Molecular analysis has shown that each individual is a compound heterozygote for a previously described beta zero thalassemia allele and a novel mutation, C-->G in position +33, in the 5' untranslated region of the beta globin gene. In both families the beta +33 allele is associated with the same beta haplotype (-++- )...
