This study describes a patient with a thalassemia intermedia-like phenotype in whom P-globin gene sequencing detected a novel abnormal hemoglobin (Hb) due to a T-C substitution at codon 114 of the P-globin gene arising as a de novo mutation. The abnormal variant was designated Hb Brescia after the p
