Project summary: This study investigates mutations in the HBB gene, which encodes the beta-globin protein of hemoglobin. Variants in this gene can cause blood disorders such as thalassemia and sickle cell anemia. By identifying specific HBB mutations, the study aims to provide better diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for patients suffering from hemoglobinopathies.
