Also known as:

Comments: Found in an asymptomatic 39-years old Spanish man with microcytic hypochromic red cells and an increased level of Hb A2 (5.1%). The 4-bp frameshift deletion creates a premature stop codon at the amino acid 60 resulting to a truncated β chain.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
