Also known as:

Comments: Initially reported in an α+ thalassaemia carrier (-α4.2/αα) with a low level of HbA2 (1.12%) during an epidemiological survey in a student cohort, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Reported as a compound heterozygote with δ -77 T>C with a slightly decreased hematological parameters (Hb 115 g/L, MCV 79.2 fL, MCH 25.3 pg, RDW 15.3%, HbA2 0.8%, and SF 15.40 ng/mL), which might be due to the lower level of SF.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
