✦ Synopsis


A new pthalassemia mutation, a frameshift mutation with an insertion of a single cytosine nucleotide in codon 27-28, is described. The propositus, who is compound heterozygous for this mutation and the IVSll-654 C+T p"-thalassemia mutation, has the phenotype of severe p-thalassemia major.

The frequency of P-thalassemia alleles among Filipinos is estimated to be 0.02, although little is known about the actual mutations represented in this population. Here, we describe a Filipino family in which a child has severe P-thalassemia major. Molecular studies of the family revealed that the p
