INTRODUCTION: Alpha thalassemia syndromes are caused by mutations on one or more of the four α-globin genes. Mutations could be either more commonly deletional or non-deletional. As some deletions (3.7 and 4.2) cause α+-thalassemia, some cause (

Alpha globin gene alterations modifying the phenotype of homozygous beta thalassaemia
The phenotype of β‐thalassemia varies widely. The primary determinant is the type of beta‐globin gene mutation; however, there are secondary and tertiary modifiers also as associated alpha mutations, polymorphisms, as well as coinheritance of mutations ...

Background: Co-inheritance of hemoglobin gene defects is a rare important status that can lead to double heterozygote or homozygote with significant clinical manifestations. Such conditions can be observed in co-inheritance of alpha-thalassemia with beta-

Alpha- Thalassemia: An Overview
Alpha-Thalassemia is the commonest hereditary monogenic disease worldwide. α-thalassemia is caused by α-globin gene losses and categorized into α-thalassemia 1 and α-thalassemia 2 depending on how many α-globin genes are functioning. Α thalassemia 1 is defined by inactivation of both α-globin genes on a chromosome, while in α-thalassemia 2, one gene is

Impact of genotype on endocrinal complications of Children with Alpha-thalassemia in China
Alpha-thalassemia occurs with high frenquency in China. Four common α-globin gene deletion mutations (–SEA, -α3.7, and -α4.2, Haemoglobin Constant Spring (CS) mutation) were identified in Chinese patients.
