Popis: β-Thalassemia (β-thal), one of the most common form of single-gene inheritable blood diseases in the world, is highly prevalent in southern China, especially in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. To update the β-thal mutation spectrum in this region, we performed hematological and genetic analyses on 888 β-thal major (β-TM), β-thal intermedia (β-TI) and β-thal carrier patients, aged 0-15 years old, from different parts of Guangxi Province. We identified 55 genotypes and 18 β-thal mutations. The codons 41/42 (-TTCT) (
