Names and Sequences
| Functionality: | Globin gene causative mutation | Pathogenicity: | N/A |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Name: | -α6.3 | HGVS Name: | NG_000006.1:g.31022_37366del6344 |
| Hb Name: | N/A | Protein Info: | N/A |
Also known as:
Comments: The deletion spans about 6.3 kb on the α-globin gene cluster and involves deletion of the HBA2 gene, causing deficient α-globin production. The breakpoints were at 2,754 bp upstream of the α1-globin gene translation initiation codon and 2,903 bp downstream of the α1-globin gene translation termination codon.
We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
