    Abstract

    A previously unknown α(0) deletion, designated - -(DANE), was found in three generations of a Danish family of Palestinian origin. Six patients were heterozygous and three patients had deletional Hb H (β4) disease with a compound heterozygosity for the common -α(3.7) (rightward) deletion. Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) supplemented by repeated polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification identified the 5' and 3' breakpoints in the α-globin gene cluster. This novel 31.2 kb deletion (NG_000006.1: g.8800_40007del31208) leads to the removal of the HBZ, HBA2 and HBA1 genes.
