The β globin gene mutation [HBB:c.93-21G˃A] or IVS I-110 (G>A) is the most common β globin gene mutation in the Mediterranean region (Old JM, 2007). . There is no consensus about the % of the mutation among β thalassemic patients in Egypt [has been reported (25.8%) by El-Gawhary et al. 2007, (33.75%) by Soliman et al. 2010, (48%) by El-Shanshory et al. 2014, (22%) by Elmezayen et al. 2015 and (34%) by Elhalfawy et al. 2017].
According to the HbVar site, it represents 33% of the β globin gene mutations in the Egyptians. 28.5% according to Henderson S ,et al 2009 .
