IthaID: 2550



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Neutral polymorphism Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: African I duplication HGVS Name: NC_000011.10: g.5372677_5372678insCACCTCCACTTdup5226885_5372677

Also known as:

Comments: The variant was present in conjunction with the a3.7 Kb deletion (ithaID: 300) and the HbS mutation (ithaID: 824). The phenotype associated with this genetic variant is likely to be silent (normal haematology) when not present with other haemoglobinopathy mutations.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
