Names and Sequences
| Functionality: | Neutral polymorphism | Pathogenicity: | Benign / Likely Benign |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Name: | -44 C>A | HGVS Name: | HBA2:c.-81C>A |
Context nucleotide sequence:
AATGAGCGCCGCCCGGCCGGGCGTG [C>A] CCCCGCGCCCCAAGCATAAAC (Strand: +)
Also known as:
Comments: Found as a heterozygote. Point-mutation located at the proximal promoter region affecting the α-inverted repeat protein (α-IRP) recognition site. α-IRP is a transcriptional activator. Functional studies did not show a statistically significant change in the transcriptional activity compared to the wild type. Reported as a polymoprhic variant.
We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.

In silico pathogenicity prediction
Note:
The impact thresholds provided in this section are based on the analyses performed in Tamana et.al. For any given tool, the impact thresholds defined for the set of variants with the same effect on function as the variant examined, are preferred over those defined for the full dataset.
