Abstract : ObjectivesDifferent thalassemia mutations have been reported in various ethnic groups and geographical regions in Tunisia. In the present study, we have investigated two rare beta(+)-thalassemia mutations, that have not previously been reported in the Tunisian population [beta -56 (G>C); HBBc. -106 G>C] and [beta -83 (G>A); HBBc. -133 G>A]. MethodsThe whole beta-globin gene was directly sequenced, and haplotype analysis was conducted through a PCR/RFLP method. Results: Two new mutations were identified for the first time in Tunisia. They are located within the promoter region of beta-globin gene at position -56 (G>C) and -83 (G>A). Linkage analysis using beta-globin gene cluster haplotypes showed that these two mutations were associated with Mediterranean beta-haplotype IX [-+-++++] and framework 2 (FW2) [CCTCT]. ConclusionsThe two newly described mutations lead to the beta(+)-thalassemia among Tunisian patients. The haplotype analysis and framework assignment have helped to identify the chromosomal background associated with these mutations, and determine their origin and spread. Am. J. Hum.
