Description
This was documented in FH patients identified on the island of Sardinia, in Italy, where 12% of the inhabitants are carriers of beta-thalassemia due to a single mutation (Q39X) of the beta-globin gene that abolishes the synthesis of beta-globin chain of hemoglobin (beta(o)-thalassemia).
