We have detected a second family (five members affected) with a large (32 kb) deletion involving the α 1 , α 2 , ψα 1 , ψα 2 ,ψζ 1 , and ζ‐globin genes. This mutation has been previously described in Calabria, Italy, in a child and his mother and has been named α‐thalassemia −‐ −‐ CAL . © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
