Also known as:
Comments: Mutation in the B-helix of the α2-globin chain, located in the conserved motif of the first exon-intron junction. It produces a mild phenotype in association with an α+ thalassemia deletion and a severe form of Hb H (β4) disease in combination with an α0 thalassemia deletion. It cannot be detected by usual electrophoretic or chromatographic methods, hence it is presumed to be hyperunstable.
We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
