Comments: This deletion spans between 28.9 to 36.5 kb and extends from upstream of the ζ gene to a breakpoint located between the α1- and θ-globin genes. Breakpoints were localized to positions 139436-139481 at the 5' end, and positions 169594-169653 at the 3’ end.
We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
