Abstrakt: We report clinical, hematological, biochemical, functional and molecular 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 β-thalassemia (thal) mutation, IVS-I-110 (G→A), in trans to a β-globin gene mutation at codon 107 (G G C→G A C), predicted to give rise to a rare unstable β chain variant Hb Lulu Island or β107(G9)Gly→Asp.
