Common Name: CD 116 (+TGAT) HGVS Name: HBB:c.349_350insTGAT
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: β 116(+TGAT); modified C-terminal sequence: (116)Leu-Ile-Ser-Leu-Trp-Gln-Arg-Ile-His-Pro-Thr- Ser-Ala-Gly-Cys-Leu-Ser-Glu-Ser-Gly-Gly- Trp-Cys-Gly-(140)COOH

Context nucleotide sequence:
AACGTGCTGGTCTGTGTGCTGGCCC [-/TGAT] ATCACTTTGGCAAAGAATTCACCCC (Strand: -)

Also known as:

Comments: The insertion of TGAT within codon 116 (CAT>CTGATAT) generates a frameshift and a premature termination codon between codons 138 and 139. Found among members of a family who are Tamil refugees residing in Switzerland. Found in combination with HBB:c.364G>C (Hb D-Punjab) in a yound child presenting with microcytic anaemia. Found in a heterozygous state in the father.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
