title: A 65 bp duplication/insertion in exon II of the beta globin gene causing beta0-thalassemia.
abstract: We describe a patient originating from Ghana who had combined heterozygous alpha (4.2)thalassemia, alpha alpha alpha anti3.7 triplication, the common delta globin variant HbA2' and a new 65 bp duplication/insertion in exon II of the b globin gene causing beta (0)-thalassemia.
