Interaction between (-SEA) α-thalassemla deletion and uncommon non-deletional α-globin gene mutations in Chinese patients

We describe the interaction of (-SEA) α-thalassemia deletion with poly-A signal mutation at the α2-globin gene in one Chinese family and with hemoglobin (Hb) Westmead α2 122 (H5) His→Gln] in another family, and show that the spectrum of non-deletional α-globin gene mutations encountered in our population is wider than previously reported.link_to_subscribed_fulltex
