Comments: The heterozygous deletion of approximately 259 kb includes the entire α-globin gene cluster. It was detected by NGS in the region chr16: 27,301–286,500 (hg38), but the exact breakpoints were not determined. The deletion was found together with α0-thalassemia (SEA deletion) in a lethal fetus with Hb Bart's hydrops fetalis syndrome. The mother and grandmother of the fetus were heterozygous carriers for this deletion.
