Comments: Found in a Swiss female presented with hypochromic anaemia with erythroblastosis and reticulocytosis. She required repeated blood transfusions during the first few days of life. During infantile development, she showed a spastic cerebral paresis combined with developmental delay, small height, low weighted and slightly dysmorphic features including a narrow upper lip, a flat philtrum, upslanting palpebral fissures, and hypoplastic ear lobules. This (εγδβ)0-thal deletion doubles the size and triples the number of affected genes.
