IthaID: 1528


Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A

Also known as:

Comments: The deletion spans approximately 90 kb of DNA, removing the Aγ, δ, and β-globin genes. The 5' breakpoint is located about 116 bp usptream of the cap site of the Aγ-globin gene promoter and the 3' breakpoint is located about 66 kb downstream of the β-globin gene (~12.7 kb upstream of the 3' deletion breakpoint of the Chinese (Aγδβ)0-thalassemia [IthaID: 1527]). Carriers express 9%-17% of HbF, whereas homozygotes present with a mild anaemia. The 3' breakpoint occurs within a rearranged L1 sequence that normally occurs downstream of the β-globin gene. This could result in the juxtaposition of enhancer sequences in the vicinity of the Gγ globin gene.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
