Several different deletions underlie the molecular basis of a-thalassemia. The most common a-thalassemia determinant in Spain is the rightward deletion (-a".'). To our knowledge, however, no cases of a-thalassemia due to nondeletional mutations have so far been described in this particular Mediterra
We have identified the substitution of a thymine for a cytosine at nucleotide position 654 in the second intron of the [3-globin gene that causes [3-thalassemia in a Japanese family. This mutation was reported to occur rather frequently in patients of Chinese origin, but has rarely been found in oth
Alpha-globin genes were analyzed by the direct method of DNA mapping using alpha- and zeta-globin specific probes in a Thai family in which the proposita was an unusually mild beta zero-thalassemia homozygote. alpha zero-Thalassemia was found to be segregating in the family, inherited from the propo
The presence of the alpha alpha alpha anti-4.2 haplotype and heterozygous beta null thalassemia in a Sicilian family is described. These findings confirm the presence in Italy of a leftward deletion (-alpha 4.2) and indicate that this may not be rare. Furthermore, although the beta thalassemia deter
