Abstract
We present a case of a two year old infant with jaundice in the neonatal period, anemia and splenohepatomegaly. Hemoglobin electrophoresis of the child and siblings revealed double heterozygosity of Lepore/beta thalassemia in the child and father, and heterozygous beta-thalassemia in the uncle. Structural variants giving rise to thalassemia phenotype are discussed.Entities:
