A family with the 619 bp deletion on the beta-globin gene found in Kerman Province, Iran.
In the present study, we report the first case of a 619 bp deletion on the beta-globin gene, found in a family from Kerman Province, Iran. This mutation is frequent in Pakistan, but it has not been previously reported in any part of Iran. This study revealed that all family members have this beta(0)-thalassemia (beta(0)-thal) mutation.
