Abstract
Four homozygotes for .beta.-thalassemia with normal Hb A2 and F were studied. The absence or scarcity of transfusion requirement and comparatively low Hb F content were the most important findings. Both parents of 3 patients showed the findings of .beta.-thalassemia with normal Hb A2 and F. Two patients and their parents showed moderate or mild .beta.-chain deficiency. The possible reason for this comparatively mild course of a .beta.-thalassemia syndrome lies in a mild deficit in .beta.-chain production.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
