GSTM1 and hemoglobinopathy: We detected an Hb Q-Thailand/−α4.2 hemoglobinopathy induced by α-globin gene mutation in 141 cases with, and five other types of hemoglobinopathies induced by β-globin gene mutation, including Hb New York (CD113(GTG > GAG)) in 317 cases, Hb J-Bangkok (CD56(GGC > GAC)) in 35 cases, Hb G-Taipei (CD22(GAA > GGA)) in one case, Hb G-Coushatta (CD22(GAA > GCA)) in 4 cases and Hb Maputo (CD47(GAT > TAT)) in one case (Table 5, Fig. 2).
