Abstract
We identified a novel mutation in the SUPT5H gene in a Chinese female who presented with a β-thalassemia trait. The substitution of c.193C > T (p.Arg65*) leads to a premature stop codon on residue 65 and could be associated with haploinsufficiency. This variant was inherited from the mother who also had the asymptomatic phenotype of β-thalassemia trait. Our case further supports the role of SUPT5H as a potential β-globin chain production-modulating gene.
期刊介绍：
Hemoglobin is a journal in the English language for the communication of research and information concerning hemoglobin in humans and other species. Hemoglobin publishes articles, reviews, points of view
The journal covers topics such as:
structure, function, genetics and evolution of hemoglobins
biochemical and biophysical properties of hemoglobin molecules
characterization of hemoglobin disorders (variants and thalassemias),
consequences and treatment of hemoglobin disorders
epidemiology and prevention of hemoglobin disorders (neo-natal and adult screening)
modulating factors
methodology used for diagnosis of hemoglobin disorders
