IthaID: 2153


Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: Kabylia deletion/insertion HGVS Name: NG_000007.3:g.70417_72458delinsATAAG
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: β nts -8536 - -6497 deleted

Also known as:

Comments: Found in a heterozygous state in a female originating from Kabylia (Algeria) and presenting with high levels of HbA2 (6.5%) and HbF (7.5%). The deletion spans approximately 2040 bp and removes the entire β-globin gene and its promoter. A 5 bp insertion (ATAAG) is detected in the deletion junction.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
