Names and Sequences

Functionality: Disease modifying mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: rs6738440 HGVS Name: NG_011968.1:g.63393T>C

Context nucleotide sequence:
CACGGCATGGCATACAAATTATTTC [A/G] TTCCCATTGAGAAATAAAATCCAAT (Strand: +)

Also known as:

Comments: Associated with elevated HbF in African Americans with sickle cell disease, recruited from the Cooperative Study of Sickle Cell Disease (CSSCD), the Comprehensive Sickle Cell Centers Collaborative Data (CDATA) study, and the Thomas Jefferson University (n=244). The association was replicated in an independent patient sample acquired from the CSSCD study (243 cases; 247 controls). Associated with varying levels of HbF in sickle cell anaemia patients of Saudi Arab (from Eastern Province) origin. Associated with F-cell levels in the SIT Trial cohort.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
