Abstract
A new deletion of more than 27 kb, removing the psi zeta 1, psi alpha 2, psi alpha 1, alpha 2, alpha 1 and theta 1 globin genes has been found in four members of a Spanish family, including two patients with Hb H disease. The 5' end point of the deletion is located between the zeta and psi zeta genes, and the 3' end of the deletion is downstream of the 3' hypervariable region.
