  • Title: The rare codon 24 (T>A) (beta+) mutation in association with the common codon 39 (C> T) (beta0) mutation causes transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia in a Moroccan patient.
    Author: Agouti I, Bennani M, Levy N, Giordano P, Badens C.
    Journal: Hemoglobin; 2009; 33(2):150-4. PubMed ID: 19373592.
    Abstract:
    We present the rare codon 24 (T > A) (beta(+)) mutation causing transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia (beta-thal) in combination with the common codon 39 (C > T) (beta(0)) defect in a Moroccan boy. We report the characterization of the mutation, phenotype, haplotype and possible origin of the first case in Morocco and discuss the significance of this genotype combination with a beta(0) defect.
