ABSTRACT
Here, we report a novel frameshift mutation caused by a single base deletion in exon 3 of the HBA2 gene (HBA2c.337delC) detected by next-generation sequencing. The proband was a 26-year-old Chinese pregnant woman who originates from Hunan Province. Her mean corpuscular volume(MCV) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) had a mild decrease. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) showed that both Hb A (97.8%) and Hb F (0.0%) values were within normal range, while the Hb A2 (2.2%) value was below normal. Sequence analysis of the α and ß-globin genes revealed a novel single base deletion at codon 112 (HBA2c.337delC) in the heterozygous state, which resulted in a mild phenotype of α-thalassemia.
