IthaID: 141


Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: Pathogenic / Likely Pathogenic
Common Name: CD 38/39 (-CC) HGVS Name: HBB:c.117_118delCC
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Context nucleotide sequence:
AGGCTGCTGGTGGTCTACCCTTGGAC [-/CC] AGAGGTTCTTTGAGTCCTTTGGGG (Strand: -)

Also known as:

Comments: Deletion of the two nt CC generates a frameshift and a premature termination codon at codon 42 (TGA). Found as a heterozygote in members of a Belgian family.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
