A new insertion mutation in the beta-globin gene [codons 45/46 (+A)] resulting in a beta-thalassemia minor phenotype. Cornut, G., Weng, X., Robin, L., Catherine Lavoie, Lavoie, C., Marchand, S., & Soulières, D. Hemoglobin, 31(3):393–395, January, 2007. MAG ID: 2101570921
doi  abstract   bibtex   
The β-globin gene of 306 newly diagnosed β-thalassemia (thal) minor patients were sequenced. Analysis revealed that only one amongst all the identified mutations had not been previously reported. This new mutation, causing a β+-thal minor phenotype, was found in a patient of Arabic origin. The insertion frameshift mutation (+A) between codons 45 and 46 [codons 45/46 (+A)] results in a premature termination signal at codon 52. No truncated β-globin or abnormal hemoglobin (Hb) was identified.
