We describe, in a Spanish family with moderate microcytosis and hypochromia, a novel nondeletional alpha-thalassemia (thal) mutation localized on the alpha2-globin gene. DNA sequencing revealed a point mutation at codon 125 (CTG --> CGG) in the heterozygous state, that was confirmed by restriction analysis. The resulting variant, which causes a nondeletional alpha-thal, was named Hb Plasencia [alpha125(H8)Leu --> Arg (alpha2)] after the place of residence of the affected family.
在一个患有中度小红细胞症和低色素血症的西班牙家庭中,我们发现了一种位于α2-珠蛋白基因上的新型非缺失型α地中海贫血(地贫)突变。DNA测序显示,杂合状态下第125密码子处存在一个点突变(CTG --> CGG),该突变经限制性分析得以证实。由此产生的导致非缺失型α地贫的变体,根据患病家庭的居住地被命名为Hb Plasencia [α125(H8)Leu --> Arg (α2)]。
