IthaID: 2157


Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: Indian HGVS Name: NG_000007.3:g.67357_71413del
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Also known as: 4056 bp deletion

Comments: The 4056-bp deletion was reported in a 4-year old Indian boy presented with hepatomegaly and severe anemia (Hb 5.5 g/dl) requiring frequent blood transfusions from the age of two years. Both parents had hypochromic microcytic anemia and increased HbA2 (>7%). The 5’ breakpoint is localised in the promoter region of the β-globin gene and the 3’ breakpoint is localized within the second intron of the β-globin gene (coordinates: GRCh38.p13, NC_000011.10).

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
