First Report of Hb Kent [β37(C3)Trp→Cys (TGG>TGC) HBB: c.114G>C] in a Chinese Family.

We report a novel HBB: c.114G>C mutation in a Chinese family. This mutation resulted in a β37(C3)Trp→Cys amino acid substitution and was synonymous with Hb Kent, a hemoglobin (Hb) variant that was reported exclusively in patients of European descent.
