Hb G-Makassar [β6(A3)Glu→Ala; codon 6 (GAG→GCG)]: Molecular characterization, clinical, and hematological effects

We report a Thai family in which five members are Hb G-Makassar heterozygotes and one member is, in addition, a heterozygote for β0-thalassemia (IVS-I-1, G → T). We confirm that the previously presumed mutation at codon 6 of the β-globin gene is GAG → GCG. Hb G-Makassar heterozygotes are asymptomati...
