Also known as:

Comments: Found in a 31-year-old female on a pre-marriage thalassemia screening program. Next-generation sequencing (long-range PCR and deep sequencing) revealed that the proband carried a mosaic variant with a level of 18.46%. Hb Qingcheng was not detected by HPLC and CE analysis assuming an unstable variant leading to α+-thal phenotype in the mosaic individual.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
