Molecular and cellular characterization of a new a-Thalassemia mutation (HBA2:c.94A>C) generating an alternative splice site and a premature stop codon

The identification of a-thalassemia (a-thal) due to point mutations has been increasing significantly with the advancement of molecular diagnostic tools. We describe here the molecular and cellular characteristics of the thalassemia mutation HBA2:c.94A>C, a novel point mutation affecting the...
