studies carried out on two first cousins from a Greek-Albanian family
who have clinical and hematological findings consistent with the
diagnosis of thalassemia intermedia. DNA studies determined that they
had co-inherited a common Mediterranean beta-thalassemia (thal)
mutation, IVS-I-110 (G -> A), in trans to a beta-globin gene mutation at
codon 107 (GGC -> GAC), predicted to give rise to a rare unstable beta
chain variant Hb Lulu Island or beta 107(G9) Gly -> Asp."
