IthaID: 2567



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Disease modifying mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: BS duplication HGVS Name: NC_000016.10:g.(85585_100579)_ (360915_410354)dup

Also known as:

Comments: This duplication was found spanning a region of approximately 260 kb starting 75 kb 5′ of the α2-globin gene to 185 kb downstream. This duplication defect increases the number of the α-globin genes from 4 to 6 in this patient, explaining the intermediate β-thalassemia status.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
