AbstractWe report a case of β-thalassemia intermedia caused by compound heterozygosity for hemoglobin (Hb) Malay and codon 41/42 (-CTTT) β0- thalassemia mutation in a 38-year-old Chinese woman. This patient has long- standing anemia with a baseline Hb level of around 70 g/L. She worked as a full-time cashier and had not required regular blood transfusions. Nevertheless, she had splenomegaly necessitating splenectomy, cholelithiasis, and iron overload. This case illustrates the varied phenotypic expression associated with compound heterozygosity for Hb Malay and other β-thalassemia mutations. Since Hb Malay migrates as Hb A on electrophoresis and chromatography, this variant Hb mutation ought to be included in the differential diagnosis for β-thalassemia major or intermedia patients of Southeast Asian descent who are reported to have Hb A on the basis of Hb analysis. The possible presence of this mutation should also be considered in appropriate cases for genetic counseling in couples at risk of conceiving fetuses with β-thalassemia major or intermedia.
