Also known as:

Comments: Found in compound heterozygosity with the -α3.7 [IthaID: 300], in a female patient presented with microcytic hypochromic anemia and iron deficiency anemia. Patient father also carried the novel mutation in combination with the -α3.7 and both had typical features of thalassemia and abnormal hematological indices compared with those with αα/-α3.7 genotype.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
