Clinically asymptomatic individuals heterozygous for mutations causing premature termination of translation in exon II [beta(0)39(C-T) and F/S71/72(+A)] were found to have almost no mutant beta-cDNA, whereas patients with nonsense codon mutations in exon III [beta 121(G-T) and beta 127(C-T)] with the clinical phenotype of thalassemia intermedia had comparable levels of mutant and normal beta-cDNA.
Heterozygosity for the IVS-I-5 (G-->C) mutation with a G-->A change at codon 18 (Val-->Met; Hb Baden) in cis and a T-->G mutation at codon 126 (Val-->Gly; Hb Dhonburi) in trans resulting in a thalassemia intermedia.
