The pathophysiology and clinical severity of -thalassemia are related to the degree of ␣/non-␣-chain imbalance. A triplicated ␣-globin gene locus can exacerbate effects of excess ␣-chains caused by a defective -globin gene, although this is not observed in all cases. Extensive studies on this cond
A 3-year-old Filipino-American child with recurrent fever, splenomegaly, anemia, and thrombocytopenia, was found to have a hemoglobin F level of 76.9%. His reticulocyte count was elevated (4.3%), and erythroblasts were present in his peripheral blood. The child's erythrocytes were microcytic (MCV 66
## Abstract β‐Thalassemia is the most common genetic disorder in the Lebanese population. Of the 200 different mutations in the β‐globin gene that leads to thalassemia, the IVSI‐110 (29.87%), IVSI‐6 (20.74%), IVSI‐1 (14.07%), IVSII‐1 (9.13%), Cd29 (9.13%), and Cd30 (3.95%) mutations are the most fr
An initiation codon mutation ATG-ATA of the p-globin gene was found in seven members of three generations of a family living in northern Sweden. This mutation, which has not previously been described, changes the initiation codon for methionine into a codon for isoleucine and will then result in a p
