Also known as: Hb Brescia

Comments: The rare Hb Durham-N.C. variant was presented in compound heterozygosity with the common IVS-I-110 (HBB: c.93-21G>A) variant, causing an early-onset severe β-Thalassaemia phenotype [PMID: 31456457]. Found in a heterozygous state in a Kurdish/Jew patient presenting with thalassaemia intermedia [PMID: 8980256]. Also reported in an Italian patient as a de novo mutation [PMID: 1301199].

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
