  • Title: β-Thalassemia major resulting from compound heterozygosity for HBB: c.92+2T>C [formerly known as IVS-I-2 (T>C)] and a novel β(0)-thalassemia frameshift mutation: HBB: c.209delG; p.Gly70Valfs*20.

    Abstract:
    A novel β(0)-thalassemia (β-thal) frameshift mutation, HBB: c.209delG; p.Gly70Valfs*20, is described in a 21-year-old African American female with β-thalassemia major (β-TM) due to compound heterozygosity for the β(0)-thal mutation HBB: c.92+2T>C [formerly known as IVS-I-2 (T>C)] and HBB: c.209delG. The combination of these mutations demonstrates a complete lack of β-globin chain synthesis, evidenced by the proband having no Hb A present.
