IthaID: 193


Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: Pathogenic / Likely Pathogenic
Common Name: CD 91 CTG>C-G HGVS Name: HBB:c.275del
Hb Name: Hb Morgantown Protein Info: β 91 (-T); modified C-terminal sequence

Context nucleotide sequence:
GGCACCTTTGCCACACTGAGTGAGC [-/T] GCACTGTGACAAGCTGCACGTGGAT (Strand: -)

Also known as:

Comments: Hb Morgantown, causes a frame shift in the coding DNA sequence and results in a variant beta-globin chain with 156 amino acid residues before it is terminated by an in frame TAA termination codon. The amino acids from codon 91 till the carboxyl-end are entirely different from those of a normal beta-globin chain, which has 146 amino acids.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
