We report a novel mutation on the α2-globin gene, Hb Debao [α31(B12)Arg→Trp; HBA2: c.94A>T] detected in a Chinese family. This mutation gives rise to a previously undescribed hemoglobin (Hb) variant that was undetectable by electrophoretic or chromatographic methods. Hb Debao was associated with an α+-thalassemia (α+-thal) deletion [-α3.7 (rightward)] producing a mild phenotype with significant microcytosis and hypochromia, while the combination of this mutation with an α0-thal deletion (--SEA) resulting in a severe form of Hb H (β4) disease, which is consistent with a thalassemic phenotype associated with the novel mutation.

D003062 Codon A set of three nucleotides in a protein coding sequence that specifies individual amino acids or a termination signal (CODON, TERMINATOR). Most codons are universal, but some organisms do not produce the transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER) complementary to all codons. These codons are referred to as unassigned codons (CODONS, NONSENSE).
