We describe a novel frameshift mutation associated with an α-thalassemia (α-thal) phenotype in a patient of Sudanese origin investigated for persistent microcytosis. In addition to the α(3.7) deletion, a novel mutation on the α2 gene was detected: HBA2:c.323delT. This mutation causes a frameshift at codon 107 of the α2 gene. The result is a disturbed amino acid sequence for the following 24 amino acids, and a premature termination codon at position 132.
我们描述了一种与α地中海贫血(α-thal)表型相关的新型移码突变,该突变出现在一名因持续性小红细胞症接受调查的苏丹裔患者中。除了α(3.7)缺失外,还在α2基因上检测到一种新型突变:HBA2:c.323delT。这种突变导致α2基因第107密码子处发生移码。结果是接下来的24个氨基酸的氨基酸序列紊乱,并在第132位出现一个提前终止密码子。
