Comments: The deletion removes the HS3, HS4 and HS5 elements of the βLCR. Found in a 5-year Canadian boy of Italian descent presented with a thalassaemic phenotype without history of perinatal anemia. The deletion was also reported in a fetus that showed signs of fetal anemia at 28 weeks of gestation. An uncomplicated intra-uterine blood transfusion was administered. The baby was born at 38 weeks with no signs of anemia or hemolysis [PIMD: 39488721].

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
