Abstrakt: The article presents a study which introduced a Thai boy with rare deletional HbH genotype caused by a novel insertion-deletion (indel) within the α-globin gene cluster. Topics discussed include reason that new cases of deletional HbH disease and Hb Bart's hydrops fetalis have been being reported and misdiagnosed, results of multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) analysis, and diagnosis of the proband with uncommon deletional HbH disease.
