Hb Ryazan: An Elongated C-Terminal β-Chain Due to a New Frameshift Mutation, HBB: c.396delG p.Val133Trpfs*25.

We identified a novel abnormal hemoglobin variant caused by a frameshift mutation at nucleotide position 396 in exon 3 of the β-globin gene (): NM_000518:c.396delG. This variant causes an emergence of alternative amino acid sequence starting at codon 133 and a new stop codon formed in the 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of the gene at amino acid position 158.
