ABSTRACT
We report two hemoglobinopathy cases involving a novel ß-thalassemia (ß-thal) nonsense mutation, HBBc.199A > T. One patient had Hb S/ß-thal, and a second unrelated patient had Hb D-Punjab/ß-thal. The HBBc.199A > T mutation introduces a premature termination codon at amino acid codon 66 (AAAâTAA) in exon 2, resulting in typical high Hb A2 ß0-thal.
