We studied five unrelated Mexican carriers of the Spanish (δβ)0-thalassemia [(δβ)0-thal] mutation to characterize the size of the deletion, the 5′ and 3′ breakpoints and the 5′ β-globin haplotype. Sequence analysis revealed the presence of an 89,548 bp deletion. The δ- and β-globin genes, two olfactory receptor genes (OR51V1 and OR52A1) and two pseudogenes (OR52Z1P and OR51A1P) were deleted. The 5′ breakpoint was located at the same position as previously reported, and the 3′ breakpoint was…

Hb Grand Junction (HBB: c.348_349delinsG; p.His117IlefsX42): A New Hyperunstable Hemoglobin Variant
TLDR
Two Hispanic adolescents with a new unstable Hb variant, resulting from a frameshift mutation at codons 115/116 of the β-globin gene, are described, leading to a decreased imbalance between α and β chain formation, and subsequently a milder phenotype than that seen in other hyperunstable Hb variants.

Rapid detection of Spanish (delta beta)zero-thalassemia deletion by polymerase chain reaction.
TLDR
It is concluded that the finding of the Spanish type of (delta beta)zero-thalassemia in all the patients studied here suggests Spain as the most probable origin of this thalassemic phenotype.
The deletion in a type of δ0-β0-thalassaemia begins in an inverted AluI repeat
TLDR
Cloned the corresponding region from the DNA of a δ0-β0-thalassaemia patient4 and it is reported here that the deletion ends in a different AluI sequence, ≃700 nucleotides 3′ to theAluI repeat involved in the HPFH deletion, and in the opposite orientation.
Rapid Detection of Spanish (S@)O-Thalassemia Deletion by Polymerase Chain Reaction
TLDR
Using probes from the Spanish (Sp)”-thalassemic DNA, the 3’ breakpoint region has been mapped and the presence of the deletion can be identified with the polymerase chain reaction p globin gene cluster.
Determination of the spectrum of beta-thalassemia genes in Spain by use of dot-blot analysis of amplified beta-globin DNA.
TLDR
The usefulness of the dot-blot hybridization of PCR-amplified genomic DNA in both rapid population surveys and prenatal diagnosis of beta-thalassemia is demonstrated.

Analysis of β-globin gene haplotypes in Asian Indians: origin and spread of β-thalassaemia on the Indian subcontinent
TLDR
The data are consistent with relatively recent and local origins for most β-thalassaemia mutations and of the high frequency alleles, intervening sequence 1 (IVS-1) nucleotide 5 (G-C) and codons 41/42 (-CTTT) appear to be older as suggested by multiple haplotype associations and a widespread geographical distribution.
Improvements in the HbVar database of human hemoglobin variants and thalassemia mutations for population and sequence variation studies
TLDR
The frequencies for a large number of mutations causing beta-thalassemia in at-risk populations have been extracted from the published literature and made available for the user to query upon in HbVar.
Homozygous delta-beta-thalassaemia in a Spanish woman.
TLDR
Haematological and clinical data from a Spanish anaemic woman with l00% haemoglobin F are reported and this to be a new case of homozygous δ-β-thalassaemia is confirmed.
