A Novel β+-Thalassemia Mutation (Codon 10 GCC → GCA) and a Rare Transcriptional Mutation (−28A → G) in Indians

To the Editor: Characterization of β-thalassemia mutations in different populations has shown 180 mutant alleles.[1][1] So far, 25 mutations have been reported among Indians, 5 of which comprise more than 80% of the mutant alleles.[2-4][2] We report two interesting Indian families showing a
