Abstract
  • We report a new beta-thalassaemia allele detected in a young Italian woman, suffering with mild non-haemolytic anaemia (Hb < 10 g/dL) and not showing Hb variant or Heinz bodies. The allele is characterised by duplication of tetranucleotide 'AG/CT' (+1344/+1347) including the invariant dinucleotide 'AG' of IVS-II acceptor splicing site and the first two nucleotides of codon 105. Beta-Globin complementary DNA (cDNA) sequencing did not reveal any mutation and qualitative analysis of the reverse transcription PCR reaction showed that only the proximal 3' splice site present in the duplicated gene is used giving race to an anomalous messenger RNA (mRNA) present in trace (1.5 %) because, most probably, rapidly degraded. In the anomalous mRNA, the insertion causes a frameshift and synthesis of an abnormal truncated beta-chain (139 residues), unable to form Hb variant because of the severe conformational changes. The duplication might have arisen from secondary structures generated by quasi-palindromic sequence 5'-CCCA(C)AG/CT(CC)TGGG-3'. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis for the beta-globin haplotype and familiar segregation analysis indicated that the mutant beta-globin gene was associated with the haplotype V.
