IthaID: 2164



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: Tennessean (εγδβ)0 HGVS Name: NG_000007.3:g.10054_21931del
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Also known as:

Comments: The deletion removes the HS1, HS2 and HS3 elements of the βLCR leading to the effective silence of the downstream normal β-globin and β-like globin genes expression.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
