Names and Sequences
| Functionality: | Disease modifying mutation | Pathogenicity: | N/A |
|---|---|---|---|
| Common Name: | α-globin cluster triplication | HGVS Name: | NC_000016.10:g.(53322_113530)_(181203_206337)dup |
Also known as:
Comments: Triplication of the entire α-globin gene cluster and the regulatory region (HS-40) of the α-globin gene. Found in combination with heterozygous β-thalassaemia, resulting in a clinical presentation of thalassaemia intermedia. Identified by whole exome sequencing.
We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
