Prenatal diagnosis of lissencephaly by magnetic resonance image.

abstract：:Although δ-globin gene mutations have no clinical implications, association of β- and δ-thalassemia may lead to misdiagnosis. We describe the case of a Chinese woman who was assumed to have an α-thalassemia heterozygote, but was later shown to have β-thalassemia with a normal amount of HbA(2) caused by the -77 mutatio...
