IthaID: 302
Names and Sequences
| Functionality: | Globin gene causative mutation | Pathogenicity: | N/A |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Name: | -α2.4 | HGVS Name: | NG_000006.1:g.36859_39252del |
| Hb Name: | N/A | Protein Info: | N/A |
Also known as:
Comments: The 2.4 kb deletion removes the entire HBA1 and leaves the HBA2 intact. It was first found in compound heterozygosity with –SEA (IthaID: 309), leading to moderate Hb H disease, with Hb ranging from 7 to 9 g/dL.
We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
