IthaID: 2957



Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: Pathogenic / Likely Pathogenic
Common Name: IVS I-117 G>A HGVS Name: HBA2:c.96-1G>A
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Context nucleotide sequence:
CACCCCTCACTCTGCTTCTCCCCGCA [G/A] GATGTTCCTGTCCTTCCCCACCAC (Strand: +)

Also known as:

Comments: This G>A replacement occurs in the acceptor splicing site which interferes with the correct RNA splicing. A gene conversion event probably explains the fact that exactly the same mutation is present on the HBA1 and HBA2 genes both. Family studies would allow to confirm it and to know if these two mutations are in cis or in trans.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
