Names and Sequences

Functionality: Disease modifying mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: -126 (-TTT) HGVS Name: NT_010393.16:g.31479059delTTT

Context nucleotide sequence:
CCCTGGTTTGGCTCTTGCCTTCTTGCATTTCCTGGGTTTCCTCATTTATC [TTT/-] TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTGGCCTTGTTATCTTTCTACCTTCAGGGAAGCCTCT (Strand: +)

Also known as: 12020(T15>T18), c.-126TdelTTT, rs5816533

Comments: T-homopolymer in the putative promoter of the AHSP gene. Reporter gene assays showed that the shorter T15 allele associated with lower activity compared to the longer T18 allele, indicating that the T-homopolymer affects AHSP promoter activity. Also, the T15 allele associated with reduced AHSP mRNA in reticulocytes [PMID: 16704446]. Modulating factor of β-thalassaemia disease phenotype.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
