IthaID: 3272


Names and Sequences

Functionality: Globin gene causative mutation Pathogenicity: N/A
Common Name: -533 (-ATAAG) HGVS Name: HBG2:c.-533_-529delATAAG
Hb Name: N/A Protein Info: N/A

Also known as:

Comments: The 5 bp deletion (-ATAAG) resides in the GATA-I binding site in the promoter region, resulting in the upregulation of γ-globin gene expression by disrupting GATA-I binding and the associated repressor complex. When co-inherited with β-thalassemia trait it leads to a phenotype of HPFH.

We follow the HGVS sequence variant nomenclature and IUPAC standards.
