    Abstract:
    β-Thalassemia (β-thal) is a hereditary and heterogeneous group of disorders caused by mutations on the β-globin gene that result in the reduced or non production of β-globin chains. We report a rare β-globin mutation, IVS-II-848 (C>A) (HBB: c.316-3C>A), which was found in a female Syrian patient. This mutation was associated with the IVS-I-1 (G>A) (HBB: c.92+1G>A) mutation, and the genotype is a compound heterozygote for IVS-I-1(G>A)/IVS-II-848(C>A). This combination was found for the first time in Syria.
