Comments: Identified in an adult male in compound heterozygosity with the Hb E variant [IthaID: 88]. The 2 bp deletion causes a frameshift, resulting in a premature stop codon fourteen amino acids downstream, and leads to a non-functional beta-globin protein. The patient exhibited clinical features of thalassemia, including pallor of the conjunctivae, prominent frontal bossing, and palpable hepatosplenomegaly. He had a history of occasional blood transfusions when haemoglobin levels fell below 8 g/dL, up to the age of 17. Following hospitalization for high fever at age 26, his condition progressively worsened, necessitating regular monthly transfusions within a year, and resulting in severe hepatic iron overload. At age 36, he presented with massive splenomegaly requiring splenectomy. The patient died at age 37 due to septic shock and multi-organ failure.
