Direct sequencing of β-globin gene reveals a rare combination of two exonic and two intronic variants in a β-thalassemia major patient: a case report

Abstract Background Due to indels in the β-globin gene, patients with β-thalassemia major exhibit a range of severity, with genotype β0β0 > β0β+ > β+β+, according to the production level of the β-globin chain. More than 300 mutations have been identified in the β-globin gene. Case presentation...
