Hb S-β-thalassemia: molecular, hematological and clinical comparisons.

Clinical and hematological features are presented for 261 patients with identified β-thalassemia (β-thal) mutations. Mutations causing Hb S [β6(A3)Glu→Val]-β(0)-thal were IVS-II-849 (A>G) in 44%, frameshift codon (FSC) 6 (-A) in 14%, Hb Monroe [β30(B12)Arg→Thr] in 14%, and IVS-II-1 (G>...
